The new Audix A127 omnidirectional microphone features a reference-grade, pre-polarized half-inch Type 1 metal film capsule (IEC 61094-4 compliant), that delivers the critical audio capture quality required for professional studio recording, broadcast, film and sound design. As the company explains, with a frequency response of 10Hz-20kHz, a wide dynamic range of 133dB and an ultra-low self-noise of 7dBA, the A127 excels in the most demanding applications.
The capsule design features a precision-tuned, 3-micron metal diaphragm for detailed and reliable performance. The A127 circuit is designed and built to exacting specifications and is coupled to the capsule by a series of driven shields to protect the microphone from external interference and capacitive coupling. The mechanical components of the gold-plated shield and the corrosion-resistant housing are all precision-machined by Audix in Wilsonville, Oregon.
“The A127 offers an exceptional level of detail and realism owing to its half-inch Type 1 metal film reference-grade capsule,” says Steve Johnson, VP of Sales and Marketing at Audix. “Featuring low-noise circuitry and innovative driven-shield protection, the A127 accurately captures a wide dynamic range of acoustic sound sources — in both the near field and far field — without artifact.”
From concept to completion, Audix’s on‐site research and development team, combined with an in‐house manufacturing facility, was able to complete the A127 project, which represents the culmination of years of R&D in condenser technology. “The half-inch size of the A127 diaphragm represents the “sweet spot” for acoustic sound capture, which is why it has become the standard for acoustic measurement. The ultrathin, 3-micron metal film diaphragm provides excellent transient response and a level of detail and realism simply not attainable with conventional diaphragm materials. A series of driven shields protects the microphone from external interference and capacitive coupling,” the company adds.
The Audix A127 can be confidently incorporated into a variety of stereo miking techniques for recording orchestra, stringed instruments and string ensembles, piano, and piano ensembles, classical guitar, pipe organ, drum overheads and choir.
