Audix ADX24 - Flexible Condenser Microphone for Conferences
The Audix ADX24 is a professional condenser microphone specifically designed for exceptional voice clarity and accuracy. With its 71 cm (28-inch) gooseneck, it's the ideal solution for fixed installations on lecterns, conference tables, boardrooms, courtrooms, and teleconferencing systems. Its sleek, miniaturized design blends discreetly into any professional environment, ensuring maximum speaker intelligibility at all times.
This microphone features a condenser capsule that ensures fast transient response and natural, detailed sound reproduction across the entire frequency range of 40 Hz to 18 kHz. Its cardioid polar pattern is evenly controlled to pick up sound directly from the front, effectively rejecting unwanted ambient noise and minimizing the risk of feedback in rooms with sound reinforcement systems. For added flexibility, the cardioid capsule can be replaced with a hypercardioid capsule (available separately) if an even more focused pickup area is required. Constructed from durable machined aluminum with a matte black finish, the ADX24 is designed to withstand heavy daily use.
Main Features
-
Miniaturized Condenser Capsule: Offers superior sound quality, capturing every nuance of the voice with impeccable clarity.

-
Double Flex Gooseneck: Its 71 cm length with two flexible sections allows for easy and precise positioning of the microphone, ensuring optimal placement in front of the speaker.
-
Integrated Preamplifier: The preamplifier circuit is conveniently integrated into the base of the XLR connector, simplifying installation and eliminating the need for external modules.
- Robust Construction: Made of machined aluminum and with a professional finish, it is prepared for a long service life in fixed installations.
-
Interchangeable Capsule: Allows you to adapt the microphone to different pickup needs by changing the cardioid capsule for a hypercardioid one (not included).
Product Benefits
The Audix ADX24 is designed for professionals who cannot afford to compromise on audio quality.
