Near or Far, This Mic Is a Star

No matter how you choose to use it, the Audix M1255B miniature high-output cardioid condenser microphone is one fine piece of gear in any galaxy! Specifically designed with high sensitivity to capture sound sources from a distance, the Audix M1255B works exceptionally well as an audience mic for use with in-ear monitors, a room mic for studio applications, and a hanging choir mic, among other applications. It retains fully integrated miniaturized preamp circuitry with extremely low self-noise, a high SPL handling capability, and it’s immune to RF interference from cell phones or GSM devices. Plus, the Audix M1255B’s discreet profile makes it nearly invisible — and it doesn’t require an external power adapter. The M1255B makes a tremendous close mic as well, with many optional accessories such as drum rim mounts, clips for saxes and trumpets, and more. Part of Audix’s The Micros series, the Audix M1255B is a mini mic with huge flexibility.

The Micros series: macro performance

“How can we pack optimum performance into a miniature size?” Steered by this question, Audix leveraged its award-winning SCX series circuit and microphone topology in a bid to design the world’s smallest fully integrated condenser mics. Micros series mics might be diminutive, but they offer gigantic value and features, including a balanced signal, low self-noise, high dynamic range, RF immunity, and a detachable cable. The resulting sound and functionality have greatly impressed many of us here at Sweetwater, and we’re sure these mighty little mics will also leave a big impression on you.

Getting the most for the money isn't just a big deal for our customers, it's also what the artists and engineers at Sweetwater look for when we're shopping for our own gear. That's why we're such fans of Audix microphones. Early on, we discovered must-have Audix mics such as the handheld OM2, the tight and punchy D6 kick mic, and the super-versatile i5. You'll also find Audix specialty hardware like CabGrabbers and D-Vice mic holders in our studios and live rigs. Their drum mic bundles offer amazing value, while our house of worship customers love their MicroBoom line for miking choirs. No matter the application, Sweetwater is happy to recommend the right Audix gear for your needs.
