Audix ADX18 Miniature Gooseneck Condenser Microphone 18” - Cardioid

The Audix ADX18 is a professional miniature gooseneck condenser microphone designed for applications such as podiums, presentations, meetings, and teleconferencing. Known for its clarity, excellent sound quality, and ease of operation, the ADX18 will accurately capture and reproduce vocals from a comfortable distance.  

The ADX18 is characterized by a uniformly controlled cardioid polar pattern, which helps to isolate the speaker from other ambient noise in the room or on the stage. This microphone is also available in a hypercardioid polar pattern (model ADX18HC) for tighter pick-up control. With a wide frequency range of 40 Hz - 18 kHz, the ADX18 provides natural sound with exceptional transient response.  

The ADX18 is equipped with integrated preamp circuitry built into the base of the XLR and may be mounted permanently via the supplied flange mount or with an optional flange shock mount (SMT1218R). The microphone may also be used on a standard mic stand or in conjunction with the Audix ATS10 or ATS1 table stand with a lighted on-off switch. Manufactured with very high standards and tight tolerances, the ADX18 features a machined brass body, field-replaceable capsule, and a variety of optional accessories. The ADX18 operates on phantom power of 18 - 52 Volts and is available in a non-reflective black matte finish.
