Audix A131 Overview

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.

Versatile Applications
The A131 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone ideal for vocals, choir, piano, acoustic instruments, and overheads. Featuring a contemporary, compact design, the A131 is an ideal choice for podcasting, professional audio production, studios, and live stage performances.
Electret Condenser Capsule
Housed in a precision-machined aluminum body, the 33mm fixed-charge capsule features a gold-sputtered diaphragm for wide, natural frequency response. With its well-behaved cardioid polar pattern, the A131 faithfully captures the detail of the performance while rejecting room noises and other unwanted, off-axis sounds.
Resistant to Pops
A double woven steel mesh grille and ultra-thin acoustic foam offer exceptional pop resistance for podcasting and vocals. Behind the grille, the open-air design of the capsule mounting system allows the A131 to deliver transparent, uncolored sound.
Consistent Performance
Proprietary impedance control between the capsule and circuitry ensures consistent and reliable performance across a wide range of environments.
Internal Shockmount
A unique and highly effective internal shockmount isolates the capsule from mechanical vibrations and touch noise, eliminating the need for a bulky external shockmount.
For Studio or Stage
Offering studio performance in a road-worthy package, the A131 also comes with a protective zippered carrying case.
Phantom Powered
The A131 features a balanced XLR 3-pin output and requires 48 to 52 VDC phantom power. For best results, the A131 should be used with a high-quality mic preamplifier and microphone cable.
Made in the USA
The A131 was designed, machined, assembled, and tested in the USA.
