Audix ADX12HC Miniature Gooseneck Microphone

Hypercardioid Gooseneck Microphone For Professional Speech Reinforcement

The Audix ADX12HC is a 16-inch miniature gooseneck hypercardioid condenser microphone designed for podiums, conference tables, lecture halls, courtrooms, and teleconferencing environments where maximum speech isolation is required. Its focused pickup pattern and integrated electronics deliver clear, intelligible voice capture while reducing room noise and system feedback.

Tight Hypercardioid Pickup For Maximum Noise Rejection

The uniformly controlled hypercardioid polar pattern concentrates on the speaker’s voice while aggressively rejecting off-axis sound from the sides and rear. This makes the ADX12HC ideal for acoustically challenging rooms, live presentation spaces, and installed sound systems where gain before feedback and speech clarity are critical.

Wide Frequency Response For Natural Vocal Clarity

Covering a frequency range of 40 Hz to 18 kHz, the ADX12HC reproduces speech with balanced low-end warmth, articulate mids, and clear high-frequency detail. Fast transient response ensures consonants remain sharp and intelligible, supporting professional applications such as meetings, broadcasts, live streams, and hybrid conference setups.

Integrated Preamplifier With XLR Connectivity

The microphone features a built-in low-noise preamplifier housed directly in the base, providing a clean signal path and stable output via standard XLR connection. Operating on 18 to 52 volts of phantom power, the ADX12HC integrates seamlessly with mixers, DSP processors, audio interfaces, and installed conference systems.

Dual Gooseneck Design For Precise Speaker Placement

Two flexible gooseneck sections allow accurate positioning of the capsule in front of the speaker’s mouth, ensuring consistent audio pickup across multiple users. The low-profile matte-black finish keeps the microphone visually unobtrusive in professional settings while maintaining durability for permanent installations.

Interchangeable Capsule And Installation Flexibility

The hypercardioid capsule can be easily removed and replaced with a cardioid capsule when a wider pickup pattern is preferred. The microphone includes a flange table mount for secure podium or conference table installation and a foam windscreen to minimize plosives and breath noise. Designed, assembled, and tested in the USA, the ADX12HC is built for long-term reliability.
