{"product_id":"audix-a231-studio-vocal-condenser-microphone-1365617","title":"Audix A231 Studio Vocal Condenser Microphone","description":"The A231 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone built for the most discerning studio user. With its externally-biased “true condenser” capsule and low-noise circuitry, the A231 is able to capture the nuances of the human voice as well as the rich overtones of acoustic instruments with natural warmth and in stunning detail. An exceptionally consistent cardioid polar pattern focuses on the performance while offering smooth off-axis rejection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 33 mm condenser capsule of the A231 features a precision-tensioned diaphragm made from a specially formulated, heat-treated film with gold deposition distributed evenly to the far edges of the diaphragm. The result is a 25% greater effective diaphragm area when compared to the capsule of a typical large diaphragm microphone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBehind the double-woven steel mesh grille of the A231, acoustic reflections and diffractions are minimized for transparent sound capture. The internal shock mount isolates the capsule from mechanical vibrations, eliminating the need for a bulky external shock mount. Proprietary impedance control between the capsule and circuitry ensures consistent and reliable performance across a wide range of environments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned, machined, assembled, and tested by Audix in Wilsonville, Oregon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e33 mm externally-biased condenser capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25% greater effective diaphragm area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCardioid polar pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary internal shock mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow noise preamp circuitry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined aluminum body with gold-plated brass band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTransducer \/ Capsule Technology:\u003c\/b\u003e 33 mm externally-biased condenser capsule \/ 29 mm 3.4 micron gold-sputtered diaphragm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/b\u003e 20 Hz – 20 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePolar Pattern:\u003c\/b\u003e Cardioid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Impedance:\u003c\/b\u003e 150 ohms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/b\u003e 16 mV \/ Pa @ 1 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSignal to Noise Ratio:\u003c\/b\u003e 82 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaximum SPL:\u003c\/b\u003e 140 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDynamic Range: \u003c\/b\u003e128 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEquivalent Noise Level: \u003c\/b\u003e12 dBA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOperating Voltage: \u003c\/b\u003e48 V (± 4 V) Phantom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eConnector:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-pin XLR m\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials \/ Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Body: Machined aluminum and gold-plated brass band Grille: Steel alloy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 330 g \/ 11.6 oz","brand":"Audix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39656534245511,"sku":"A231","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/audix-pro-audio-microphones-audix-a231-studio-vocal-condenser-microphone-a231-28913528799367.jpg?v=1649939888","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/products\/audix-a231-studio-vocal-condenser-microphone-1365617","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
