Audix ADX40 Overhead Microphone

Overhead Condenser Microphone For Choirs And Stage Performances

The Audix ADX40 is a miniature overhead condenser microphone designed to capture clear, natural sound in choir, worship, stage, and live performance environments. Suspended from above, it provides even coverage across vocal ensembles, bands, and presentations while remaining visually discreet. This makes it an ideal solution for houses of worship, theaters, auditoriums, and live sound installations where clarity and low visual impact are equally important.

Cardioid Pickup Pattern For Controlled Sound Coverage

This model ships with a cardioid condenser capsule that offers a wide pickup area while reducing unwanted ambient noise and feedback. The cardioid polar pattern helps focus on performers directly below the microphone, minimizing reflections from ceilings and surrounding structures. This controlled pickup makes the ADX40 well suited for sound reinforcement systems that require consistency and gain stability.

Interchangeable Capsule System For Application Flexibility

The ADX40 features a modular, pre-polarized condenser capsule design that allows the pickup pattern to be changed as needed. In addition to the included cardioid capsule, hypercardioid and omnidirectional capsules are available separately. This flexibility allows the microphone to adapt to different room sizes, ensemble layouts, and acoustic environments without replacing the entire system.

Wide Frequency Response For Accurate And Natural Audio

With a wide and linear frequency response, the ADX40 reproduces vocals and instruments with excellent detail and low noise. The low signal-to-noise ratio ensures clean audio capture across the entire spectrum, making it suitable for both live sound reinforcement and broadcast or recording applications. Speech and music remain balanced and intelligible, even in larger venues.

Low-Profile Hanging Design For Discreet Installation

The miniature housing allows the ADX40 to remain unobtrusive when suspended overhead. Its compact size helps keep sightlines clean for audiences and cameras while still delivering professional-level audio performance. The included MC40 wire hanger supports stable overhead mounting in permanent or semi-permanent installations.

External Power Module With Professional Connectivity

The included APS910 preamplifier and power module provides a standard XLR output and supports 9 to 52V phantom power from an external source. A 30-foot cable is included, allowing flexible placement between the microphone and audio equipment. This external module ensures reliable signal conversion and seamless integration with mixers, audio interfaces, and installed sound systems.
