The A127 Professional Reference Condenser Microphone from Audix is a metal film, reference-grade electret condenser microphone designed to excel in demanding studio and field recording applications. Featuring precision-machined, electro-mechanical components and an extraordinarily flat and wide frequency response, the A127 is supremely adept at a wide range of pro recording applications, especially acoustical reference measurement and sound design.
The electronic circuit features actively driven shielding with gold-plating for excellent protection against external interference or capacitive coupling, and the housing is constructed from corrosion-resistant brass for durability. The transformerless design enables ultralow noise, and the 3-micron metal film diaphragm provides an astonishing level of detail and transient clarity. The omnidirectional polar pattern and pro-grade specs make the A127 a great mic for numerous applications in the field or studio, from recording orchestras and ensembles, to drum overheads, to top-quality on-site sound for video documentaries, broadcast, and live concerts. For truly accurate audio and incredibly reliable performance, the Audix A127 is an ideal choice.

With its omnidirectional polar pattern, the A127 excels as a room mic and can be incorporated into a variety of stereo miking techniques. Professional recording engineers often use a stereo pair of omnidirectional microphones for recording orchestra, stringed instruments and string ensembles, piano and piano ensembles, classical guitar, pipe organ and choir. Depending on the size and acoustics of the room, omnidirectional microphones will most accurately recreate the experience of being in the audience.
Given its compact size, low-noise preamp and extraordinary stability, the A127 is ideal for field recording, documentaries, sound gathering, and acoustic measurements.
