Audio-Technica PRO25AX Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

Audio-Technica PRO25ax Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone Overview
The Audio-Technica PRO25ax Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone is engineered to handle the demands of high-SPL (sound pressure level) environments, making it an ideal choice for live performances and professional recordings. Whether you're capturing the booming low-end of a kick drum, the sharp attack of brass instruments, or the powerful rhythms of percussion, the PRO25ax delivers exceptional clarity and a warm low-frequency response. Its rugged design and tailored sound make it an essential tool for any musician or audio engineer working with dynamic, high-energy instruments.

Perfect for High-SPL Instruments
The PRO25ax is specifically tailored for high-SPL applications, where sound levels can easily overwhelm typical microphones. Designed with instruments like kick drums, percussion, and brass in mind, this microphone excels at handling loud and dynamic sounds without distortion. Whether you’re in a live concert setting or a recording studio, the PRO25ax can capture the intensity and presence of high-output instruments, ensuring your recordings and performances sound clear and full-bodied, even in the most demanding environments.

Hypercardioid Polar Pattern for Maximum Isolation
One of the standout features of the PRO25ax is its hypercardioid polar pattern, which significantly improves isolation of the sound source. This allows you to focus on the primary instrument while minimizing unwanted ambient noise and reducing the potential for feedback. The hypercardioid pattern’s superior off-axis rejection ensures that the microphone picks up only the desired sound, allowing you to achieve maximum gain before feedback. This makes it particularly useful in live sound applications where clarity and control are essential.

Warm Low-Frequency Response for Enhanced Presence
The PRO25ax is designed to deliver a warm, rich low-frequency response with excellent presence, capturing the depth and power of instruments like kick drums and brass with incredible detail. This warmth adds a natural, full-bodied tone to your recordings, enhancing the overall sound of the performance. Whether you’re miking a kick drum for a live show or capturing the sharpness of a brass section in the studio, the microphone’s frequency response ensures your recordings are accurate, detailed, and full of character.

Versatile Mounting and Effective Noise Dampening
Included with the PRO25ax is the AT8471 isolation clamp, which provides versatile mounting options and helps to dampen mechanical noise. This clamp ensures that your microphone is securely positioned for optimal sound capture while also reducing any vibrations or handling noises that might interfere with the recording process. Whether mounted on a drum kit or a microphone stand, the clamp ensures that the microphone stays stable and delivers clear, clean audio without unwanted distractions.

Rugged and Reliable for Professional Use
Built with a rugged design, the PRO25ax is designed to withstand the wear and tear of both live performances and studio sessions. Its durable construction ensures reliable performance, even in demanding environments where equipment is frequently moved or adjusted. Whether you're touring with a live band or recording in a busy studio, this microphone is built to last, offering consistent, high-quality sound capture over time.
