28 Inch Hypercardioid Gooseneck Podium Microphone For Maximum Speech Isolation
The Audix ADX24HC is a 28-inch miniature gooseneck hypercardioid condenser microphone engineered for podiums, lecture halls, conference rooms, and teleconferencing systems where precise voice capture is essential. Designed for professional installed sound and live presentation environments, this phantom-powered microphone delivers focused speech intelligibility while minimizing unwanted background noise.
Hypercardioid Pickup Pattern For Superior Feedback Rejection
The tightly controlled hypercardioid polar pattern concentrates on the speaker directly in front of the microphone while significantly reducing off-axis sound. This makes the ADX24HC ideal for high-gain situations such as corporate AV systems, houses of worship, council chambers, and courtrooms. The focused pickup improves gain-before-feedback and reduces room reflections, HVAC noise, and audience distractions.
Wide Frequency Response For Natural And Articulate Speech
With a frequency range of 40 Hz to 18 kHz, the ADX24HC provides clear, accurate vocal reproduction with fast transient response and low noise performance. Speech remains natural and intelligible without harshness or excessive low-frequency buildup. This extended frequency response ensures compatibility with professional PA systems, recording setups, and broadcast environments.
Dual Flexible Gooseneck Construction For Precise Positioning
Built from machined aluminum with two flexible gooseneck sections, this 28-inch podium microphone allows precise capsule placement at optimal speaking distance. The extended length provides excellent reach across larger lecterns and conference tables. A matte-black non-reflective finish maintains a clean, professional appearance suitable for installed environments and camera-visible applications.
Integrated Preamp With Phantom Power Operation
The ADX24HC features an integrated preamplifier housed in its XLR base and operates on 18 to 52V phantom power. The capsule is interchangeable, allowing users to replace the included hypercardioid capsule with a cardioid option if a broader pickup pattern is required. Installation is straightforward using the included flange table mount or a standard microphone stand.
Complete Installation Package For Professional AV Systems
Included with the microphone are a flange table mount for permanent installation and a foam windscreen to reduce plosives and breath noise. Designed, assembled, manufactured, and tested in the USA, the ADX24HC is built for long-term reliability in demanding presentation and conferencing environments.
