The SCX1-HC Studio Condenser Microphone from Audix offers a versatile condenser microphone system that can be used for vocal, general instrument, and ambiance capturing applications. When used near monitors and speakers, the hypercardioid polar pattern provides maximum signal rejection at the off-axis sections of the microphone head, providing a low noise floor and high gain-before-feedback response. Transformerless circuitry and surface mount technology provide a compact profile and quiet signal response with a low noise floor. The microphone's high sensitivity and wide frequency response are suitable for use with vocals, guitar, strings, drums, percussion, overhead cymbals, and similar sounds. A high SPL rating of 130 dB enables the capsule to accurately pick up transient (peaking) signal without noise caused by distortion overload. The package includes an external foam windscreen for reducing wind, sibilance, and pop noise, a nylon molded snap-on clip, and a foam lined wooden case.

Audix SCX1/HC Reviews
Great Mic and Great Value
I have only used SCX1-HC on one job so far, but have been using it in testing procedures along with sound devices PRE MIX 6, so my experience with it is limited. As of now it is great sounding Microphone. It's off-axis pick up is not as limited as I expected. My 416 might sound a bit richer and so forth, but using it on interior interviews in poor acoustics I get a echo - that is why I bought the SCX1-HC and it has not been a disappointment. It is a crisp, rich sounding microphone that will cut through music and sfx. So far I have not experienced with any RF problems or any issues, but again I have only used on a limited basis. I did do research before I made the purchase and sure - there are better microphones out there, for twice the price or 3-4 times the price. In those instances when the project calls for that I always hire a sound person anyway and let them worry about the sound. For simple projects where I want better sounding audio than just using LAV microphones this performs well. I might also add AUDIX's customer service is great and it is US made which is a plus for support. As always BH has been great to work with and even got me the SCX1-HC quickly though the manufacture.
Solid quality, great value!
Just picked one up for our documentary work. Can't go wrong with this mic, fantastic for indoor dialogue. Excellent quality. Audix has great customer service too! Always nice to buy a local, US product too :)
