Versatile Dynamic Mic with High Default Gain
If you’ve ever been frustrated by not having enough gain for a dynamic mic — but didn’t want to drop the money for a cloud lifter — then the Audix PDX720 hypercardioid dynamic vocal microphone is right up your alley. This dynamic mic has a high default standard gain level, enabling it to easily capture quieter sound sources like spoken word performances — all without the need for a cloud lifter or preamp gain boosts. Plus, its robust 135dB max SPL handling makes it a great choice for drums or other loud sources. The Audix PDX720 has a hypercardioid polar pattern with excellent off-axis rejection, and it also features two unique 3-position switches that allow you to shape the mic’s overall sound very quickly without reaching for an EQ unit. In summary, Sweetwater studio engineers think the Audix PDX720 is a versatile mic that sounds great on just about anything!

Shape your sound from the mic itself
The Audix PDX720 hypercardioid dynamic vocal microphone has two 3-position switches that help you sculpt the mic’s sound. The highpass filter switch has settings at 120Hz and 155Hz, and the Presence Boost switch has bumps of 1.5dB or 3dB. With both switches off, vocals have a silky-smooth top end, and the mic’s 50Hz–20kHz frequency response enables ample low end without sounding thunderous. These features mean that the Audix PDX720 can capture amazing audio from a variety of sound sources.
