Audix AP62 VX5 - Professional Dual Channel Wireless System with Condenser Capsule
The Audix AP62 VX5 is a true diversity, dual-channel wireless microphone system designed to deliver studio-quality audio in demanding live environments. This comprehensive package includes the R62 dual-channel receiver and two H60 handheld transmitters equipped with the acclaimed VX5 vocal condenser capsule. It's the perfect choice for vocalists, sound engineers, and presenters seeking exceptionally clear, detailed, and reliable vocal reproduction for stages, corporate events, houses of worship, and broadcast applications.
The heart of the system is the R62 receiver, which operates across a wide 64 MHz spectrum (522 MHz – 586 MHz) to ensure stable, interference-free transmission. Its True Diversity technology uses two antennas and independent receiving circuits per channel, instantly selecting the strongest signal to eliminate signal drops and ensure a robust connection. Setup is incredibly simple thanks to features like automatic frequency scanning, which locates clear channels at the touch of a button, and infrared synchronization, which instantly links the transmitter and receiver.
The two included H60 handheld transmitters are distinguished by their robust metal construction and ergonomic, balanced design. They are equipped with the interchangeable VX5 condenser capsule, a high-end microphone renowned for its smooth and detailed frequency response (40 Hz - 16.5 kHz) and its ability to handle very high sound pressure levels (over 140 dB) without distortion. The capsule's supercardioid polar pattern provides excellent off-axis rejection, minimizing the risk of feedback and isolating the vocals from other stage sounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "True Diversity" system and why is it important?
A True Diversity system uses two antennas and two independent receiving circuits per channel. It constantly analyzes both signals and selects the strongest one, drastically minimizing interruptions and signal drops caused by radio frequency reflections or performer movement. This provides a much more stable and reliable wireless connection.
What is the operating range of the AP62 VX5 system?
The system has an operating range of up to 137 meters (approximately 450 feet) in direct line of sight. Factors such as obstacles, walls, and RF interference may affect the actual range.
Can I use other microphone capsules with the H60 transmitter?
Yes, one of the advantages of Audix Performance Series handheld transmitters like the H60 is their interchangeable modular capsule design. This allows the use of other capsules in the series, such as the dynamic OM family, offering great sonic versatility.
How many AP62 VX5 systems can I use simultaneously?
It is possible to operate up to 20 systems simultaneously per frequency band under ideal conditions. For more complex configurations, the use of an antenna distribution system and active directional antennas is recommended to optimize performance.
