Audix A231 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Professional Studio Condenser Microphone For Recording Vocals And Instruments

The Audix A231 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone built for professional studio recording, podcasting, voiceover work, and instrument capture. Designed with an oversized gold-sputtered diaphragm, ultra-low-noise circuitry, and a cardioid polar pattern, the A231 delivers detailed, natural sound reproduction with controlled off-axis rejection. Whether tracking vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, or broadcast voice, this microphone is engineered to provide clean, reliable results.

Large Diaphragm Cardioid Capsule With Extended Detail

At the heart of the A231 is an externally biased 33 mm condenser capsule with a gold-sputtered diaphragm. The effective diaphragm area is larger than many traditional large-diaphragm studio microphones, helping capture depth, clarity, and transient detail. The cardioid pickup pattern focuses on the sound source directly in front of the mic while reducing unwanted room reflections and background noise, making it ideal for controlled studio environments.

Ultra Low Noise Circuitry For Clean Professional Signal

The A231 features precision-designed preamp circuitry engineered for extremely low self-noise performance. Active driven shielding protects the capsule-to-circuit connection from interference and capacitive coupling, ensuring signal integrity during recording sessions. This design supports high-resolution recording workflows in professional studios and project studios alike.

Integrated Internal Shockmount And Built In Pop Control

Unlike many studio microphones that require additional accessories, the A231 incorporates a proprietary internal shockmount system that minimizes mechanical vibration and handling noise. A double-woven steel grille combined with ultra-thin acoustic foam helps reduce plosives and sibilance without the need for an external pop filter. This integrated design keeps your setup streamlined while maintaining consistent audio quality.

Durable Machined Aluminum Housing For Studio And Mobile Use

The precision-machined aluminum chassis provides durability for daily studio work and remote recording sessions. Gold-plated accents and a black anodized finish add protection while maintaining a professional appearance. Designed and assembled in the USA, the A231 is built for reliability in demanding recording environments.

Studio Ready Accessories And Phantom Power Operation

The A231 operates on standard 48V phantom power and connects via a balanced 3-pin XLR output. Included accessories consist of a snap-on microphone clip compatible with 5/8-inch and 3/8-inch stands, along with a zippered carrying pouch for secure transport. The complete package ensures quick integration into professional recording setups.
