Due to its clever design elements, the Audix A131 large-diaphragm condenser microphone lets you clearly capture varied sources such as vocals and acoustic instruments without relying on an external shockmount and pop filter to control extraneous noises. Its internal shockmount handles the task of reducing vibrations while the grille and underlying foam provide resistance to pops or plosives.
The electret condenser capsule features a 1.1" gold-sputtered diaphragm and a cardioid polar pattern, yielding versatile and full-range frequency reproduction along with off-axis sound rejection that helps to lessen the pickup of room ambience and stage bleed. With a precision-machined aluminum body, this mic is built to survive the rigors of daily session use or life on tour.
