Audix AP62 C55 - Professional Dual Channel Wireless System with VX5 Handheld Microphone and L5 Lavalier Microphone
The Audix AP62 C55 is a complete, professional wireless microphone solution designed for maximum versatility and flawless audio performance in the most demanding environments. This system combines the power and clarity of a high-end handheld microphone with the discretion and convenience of a lavalier microphone, all managed by a robust dual-channel receiver with True Diversity technology. Ideal for corporate events, presentations, houses of worship, theatrical productions, and spoken word applications, the AP62 C55 ensures stable signal transmission and studio-quality sound.
The heart of the system is the R62 dual-channel receiver, which operates with True Diversity technology. This means it uses two antennas and two independent receiver circuits per channel to constantly select the strongest signal, virtually eliminating signal loss and interference. Its metal chassis ensures durability and reliable performance, while its intuitive interface with a high-resolution display simplifies setup and monitoring. The system automatically scans frequencies to find the clearest available channels and synchronizes with the transmitters quickly and easily via infrared.
System Components
This package has been carefully configured to cover any dynamic presentation or event need:
-
R62 Dual Channel True Diversity Receiver: A two-channel receiver housed in a rugged metal rackmount chassis. It offers a 64 MHz bandwidth for precise tuning and features XLR and 6.35 mm outputs per channel.
-
H60 Handheld Transmitter with VX5 Capsule: The H60 transmitter is ergonomic and durable, but its real gem is the VX5 condenser capsule. Renowned for its studio-quality sound, it offers a smooth and accurate frequency response, high sound pressure level (SPL) without distortion, and a supercardioid polar pattern that isolates the voice and minimizes ambient noise and feedback.
-
B60 Bodypack Transmitter: Compact, lightweight, and built from durable metal. This bodypack transmitter is the perfect partner for the lavalier microphone, providing freedom of movement without sacrificing audio quality or signal reliability.
-
L5 Lavalier Microphone: A miniature cardioid lapel microphone, designed to be discreet and offer clear, natural voice capture. It's ideal for speakers, presenters, and actors who need to be hands-free.
