Professional Gooseneck Microphone For Podiums And Conference Tables
The Audix ADX12 is a 16-inch miniature gooseneck cardioid condenser microphone designed for podiums, boardrooms, lecture halls, courtrooms, and teleconferencing environments where clear speech reinforcement is essential. With integrated preamp circuitry and an XLR base, the ADX12 provides natural, accurate voice reproduction while maintaining a clean, professional installation appearance.
Cardioid Pickup Pattern For Focused Speech Clarity
The uniformly controlled cardioid polar pattern concentrates on the speaker’s voice while reducing unwanted ambient room noise, HVAC rumble, and nearby conversations. This directional control improves intelligibility in conference rooms and public speaking spaces while helping minimize feedback when used with installed sound systems.
Wide Frequency Response For Natural Vocal Reproduction
With a frequency response of 40 Hz to 18 kHz, the ADX12 captures speech with balanced lows, detailed midrange articulation, and clear high-frequency presence. The fast transient response ensures consonants and subtle vocal nuances remain intact, making it ideal for board meetings, presentations, live streaming, and hybrid conference systems.
Dual Gooseneck Design For Precise Mic Positioning
The 16-inch dual-section gooseneck allows accurate capsule placement for consistent vocal pickup. This flexible positioning ensures the microphone can be adjusted to accommodate different speakers without sacrificing sound quality. The low-profile matte-black finish keeps the setup visually unobtrusive in professional environments.
Integrated Preamplifier And Phantom Power Operation
Built-in preamp circuitry located in the base provides low-noise performance and stable signal output via XLR connection. The ADX12 operates on standard 18 to 52 volts phantom power, making it compatible with professional mixers, audio interfaces, DSP systems, and installed conference room audio equipment.
Interchangeable Capsule For Application Flexibility
The included cardioid capsule can be easily removed and replaced with compatible capsule options if a tighter pickup pattern is required. This modular capability allows system designers and integrators to adapt the microphone for various room acoustics and reinforcement requirements without replacing the entire unit.
Durable Construction For Permanent Installation
Constructed from machined aluminum with a non-reflective finish, the ADX12 is designed for long-term installation use. It includes a flange table mount for secure podium or conference table mounting and a foam windscreen to reduce plosives and breath noise. Designed, assembled, and tested in the USA, it delivers reliable performance in demanding environments.
