Audibax Berlin 1800 Gold Pack - Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone for Studio, Podcast and Voice-Over

The Audibax Berlin 1800 Gold Pack is a large-diaphragm studio microphone with a cardioid polar pattern , designed to capture vocals and instruments with clarity, detail, and low noise. Its frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and maximum SPL of 135 dB allow it to handle everything from whispers to demanding sound sources, maintaining a solid and balanced reproduction. It features a gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector to ensure stable, interference-free transmission and operates on 48V (DC) phantom power supplied by interfaces, mixers, or preamps.

The pack includes everything you need to start recording: a shock mount to isolate mechanical vibrations, a foam windscreen to control plosives and minor wind noise, a desktop tripod for mounting the microphone on a table, and two cables (2.5mm XLR-XLR and 2.5mm XLR-minijack) to cover different connection scenarios. Its gold finish and the Gold Pack series distinguish this comprehensive set, ideal for home studios, rehearsal rooms, schools, and rental applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it need phantom power? Yes. It requires 48V DC from an interface, mixer, or preamp with phantom power.
• Can I connect it to my computer without an audio interface? For optimal results, use an audio interface with XLR and phantom power inputs . The included XLR-to-minijack cable may work with some devices, but most minijack inputs do not provide phantom power or the correct level/impedance.
• Does it include a mesh pop filter? No; it includes a foam windscreen . If you're recording close-up voiceovers, it's recommended to add an external pop filter.
• Is it suitable for outdoor use? Yes, with adequate protection against wind and moisture; the included windscreen helps with light field shots.

Usage recommendations

• Place the microphone between 10 and 20 cm from the source and use a windscreen or pop filter to control plosives.
• Activate the 48V phantom power only once the XLR cable is connected to the microphone and the preamp to avoid clicks.
• For instruments with high sound pressure levels, adjust the gain on the preamp to maintain dynamic range.
