SCX25A - Large Diaphragm Microphone

The SCX25A is a professional studio condenser microphone with an elegant design and a patented capsule suspension system. Uniquely shock-mounted within an intricate machined brass ring, the capsule is completely isolated from the mic body and electronics. By successfully minimizing acoustic reflections and diffractions, the SCX25A delivers a pure, open air sound with exceptional detail and realism.

The SCX25A is consistent when responding to on and off-axis signals. This mic exhibits outstanding phase coherence and minimal proximity effect. With a wide cardioid polar pattern, the SCX25A enables the sound engineer to blend the sound of the instrument or vocal with the sound of the room. The SCX25A will handle SPLs in excess of 135 dB and provides up to 20 dB of ambient noise rejection.

The SCX25A is perfectly suited to capture the sound of acoustic instruments such as pianos, guitars, vibes, woodwinds, brass, percussion toys, drums, orchestra and symphony sections.

SCX1HC - High Hat

The principal applications for the SCX1HC are recording, sound design, broadcast and live sound applications. Sensitivity, pin-point accuracy, low profile and consistency illustrate the vigorous attributes of the SCX1HC.

The SCX1HC offers a consistent response to on and off axis signals while exhibiting excellent phase coherence and minimal proximity effects. With its wide frequency response, accuracy and sensitivity, the SCX1HC is the perfect selection for miking overhead, room ambience, orchestral sections, stringed instruments, pianos, vibes and sound effects.

The SCX1HC has a 21 mm gold vapor capsule, miniaturized electronics and an extremely small footprint.
