Audibax Dublin 3000 Blue Pack - Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Complete Kit for Studio and Podcast

The Audibax Dublin 3000 Blue Pack is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for vocals and voice-over work. Its cardioid polar pattern accurately captures the sound source from the front while reducing ambient noise. It features a 16mm capsule , a frequency response of 40Hz–20kHz , and a signal-to-noise ratio ≥ 66dB for clean, clear recordings in home studios , podcasting, voice-over work, or streaming. Its electric blue finish and XLR connector (with gold-plated contacts) provide both aesthetic appeal and a reliable connection. The pack includes essential accessories to get you recording right away: a pop filter , foam windscreen , shock mount , desktop stand , and two 2.5m cables ( XLR–XLR and XLR–3.5mm minijack ).

Main features

• 16mm capsule and low distortion circuitry for natural detail in spoken and sung voice.
• Unidirectional cardioid pattern : prioritizes the front signal and helps minimize ambient noise and feedback.
• Frequency response 40 Hz–20 kHz : controlled bass and clear treble for balanced sound in voiceovers, podcasts, and streaming.
• Max. SPL 120 dB @1 kHz (≤1% THD) : sufficient headroom for powerful vocals and moderate instruments.
• Versatile connections : 3-pin XLR output and XLR–minijack cable for equipment with 3.5 mm input.
• Low voltage power supply (1.5 V; range 1.5–10 V) as specified, ideal for inputs with “plug-in power”.
• Complete pack with spider, pop filter, windscreen, table stand and 2.5m cables to set up your set without extra purchases.
• Blue Pack finish with vintage aesthetic and solid construction for everyday use in a home studio.

Benefits for the user

• Improved speech intelligibility thanks to the cardioid pattern and a wide 40 Hz–20 kHz curve.
• Less unwanted noise : the spider reduces table vibrations and the pop filter attenuates plosives .
• Easy installation : includes everything you need; connect via XLR to an interface or via minijack to compatible devices.
• Clean sound with S/N ratio ≥ 66 dB and sensitivity of −43 dB (1 V/Pa, 1 kHz) for clear captures.
• Real versatility : suitable as a main or support microphone in studio, voiceover, podcast, streaming and dubbing.

Use cases

• Podcasting and streaming : close placement with pop filter for clear voice and noise control.
• Voiceover and dubbing : detailed and consistent recording thanks to the cardioid.
• Home studio : vocal demos, soft acoustic guitars and voice-over.
• Direct and reinforcement : as a support microphone in controlled scenarios.

Compatibility and connection

The Dublin 3000 offers a 3-pin XLR output and operates at 1.5V (with a specified sensitivity tolerance up to 10V). It can be connected to 3.5mm microphone inputs that provide plug-in power using the included XLR-to-minijack cable. When used with XLR audio interfaces , 48V phantom power is not required ; it is recommended to disable it unless otherwise specified by the equipment manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it require 48V phantom power? No. The specification indicates 1.5V operating power (with a range of 1.5–10V). Use plug-in powered inputs via mini-jack or XLR interfaces with phantom power disabled, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
• Can I connect it directly to my computer? Yes, if your computer has a 3.5 mm microphone input that supplies power . For better control and gain, an audio interface with an XLR input is recommended.
• Does it include all the accessories to get started? Yes: shock mount, pop filter, windscreen, table stand and XLR–XLR and XLR–minijack cables (2.5 m).
• Is it suitable for instruments? For moderate sources (up to approximately 120 dB SPL). Near very noisy sources, reduce the gain or increase the distance.

Usage tips

• Point the grille towards the mouth (front side) and maintain a distance of 10–15 cm with a pop filter .
• Use the spider and table stand to minimize vibrations.
• For added warmth, take advantage of the proximity effect of the cardioid pattern and correct with gentle equalization if necessary.
