Audibax Tokyo 1600 - Cardioid dynamic handheld microphone with metal body and XLR–6.35 mm jack cable (4 m)

The Audibax Tokyo 1600 is a cardioid dynamic handheld microphone designed for vocals, featuring a robust metal body , an on/off switch , and a 3-pin XLR output. It offers high signal output , low distortion , and clean sound for live or studio recording. Gold-plated pins on the connector ensure reliable contact and stable signal transfer, and a 4-meter XLR female to 6.35 mm jack adapter cable is included for quick connection to line inputs when needed.

With a frequency response of 80 Hz to 15 kHz , an impedance of 600 Ω , and a sensitivity of −52 dBV (≈2.5 mV/Pa) , the Tokyo 1600 captures vocals clearly and offers good off-axis rejection thanks to its unidirectional cardioid pattern. Its rugged construction is designed for intensive use in rentals , AV installations, rehearsals, and live performances.

Main features

• Cardioid dynamic capsule (unidirectional): focuses the voice and helps reduce feedback in stage settings.
• Solid metal body: designed to withstand continuous use and travel.
• Integrated on/off switch: quick mute control from the microphone itself.
• 3-pin XLR connector with gold-plated pins: stable and durable connection.
• Included accessory: 4m XLR female → 6.35mm jack cable for greater connection flexibility.
• Acoustic specifications: 80 Hz–15 kHz, 600 Ω, −52 dBV (2.5 mV/Pa).
• Vocal application: designed for lead vocals, choirs, presentations and karaoke.

Benefits for the user

• Clarity and control: the cardioid pattern helps isolate the voice from side and ambient noise.
• Live reliability: metal construction and gold-plated contacts for stable connections.
• Versatile connection: professional XLR output and included cable to 6.35 mm jack for consoles or amplifiers with unbalanced inputs.
• Simple operation: on/off switch that allows muting without touching the table.

Use cases

• Live performances and rehearsals: lead vocals or backing vocals on small and medium-sized stages.
• Events and presentations: conferences, school events, karaoke and entertainment.
• Home studio and basic podcast: direct voice input to interface/table with XLR or 6.35 mm jack input using the included cable.
• Fixed installation and rental: general purpose microphones in multipurpose rooms and rental equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it a balanced microphone? The microphone output is a 3-pin XLR (balanced). The included XLR female to 6.35 mm jack cable converts the connection to unbalanced for equipment that requires it.
• Is it suitable for outdoor use? Yes, provided it is protected from the weather and, preferably, with a windscreen/pop filter to reduce wind noise.
• Can I use phantom power? It's neither necessary nor recommended: it's a passive dynamic microphone.
• How is it against feedback? The cardioid pattern offers good rear rejection; even so, place the monitors to the sides and avoid pointing the grille towards the speakers.

Usage recommendations

• Working distance: between 5 and 10 cm from the mouth for a present voice and control of the proximity effect.
• Monitor placement: avoid aligning the microphone axis with the wedges to minimize howls.
• Maintenance: Clean the grille and periodically check the XLR connector to maintain good contact.
