Miniature Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone for Focused Stage and Install Audio
The Audix M1250B-HC is a compact hypercardioid condenser microphone engineered for professional sound reinforcement, recording, and installed AV systems. Measuring just 2.1 inches in length, this miniaturized microphone features an integrated preamplifier and detachable 25-foot cable, delivering clean, detailed audio while maintaining a discreet appearance. It is ideal for choir miking, overhead stage placement, speech capture, and ambient room applications where precision and feedback control are essential.
Hypercardioid Polar Pattern for Maximum Off-Axis Rejection
Designed with a hypercardioid pickup pattern, the M1250B-HC provides tight front-focused audio capture while significantly reducing sound from the sides and rear. This makes it highly effective in environments with stage monitors, reflective surfaces, or multiple open microphones. The focused pattern improves gain before feedback and enhances speech intelligibility, making it a reliable choice for houses of worship, corporate presentations, broadcast settings, and live performances.
Integrated Preamplifier with Phantom Power Operation
The M1250B-HC includes a built-in miniature preamp that simplifies setup and maintains consistent signal quality. It operates on standard 18–52V phantom power, ensuring compatibility with professional mixing consoles, digital signal processors, and audio interfaces. The detachable mini-XLR to full-size XLR cable supports flexible installation and easy servicing, especially in fixed audio systems.
Wide Frequency Response with High Sensitivity
This condenser microphone is built with a highly sensitive capsule that captures both vocals and instruments with clarity and detail. Its extended frequency response makes it suitable for group vocals, overhead cymbals, acoustic instruments, podium microphones, and room ambiance recording. The high output level supports longer cable runs without compromising audio integrity, which is particularly useful in larger venues and installed sound environments.
Compact Low-Profile Design for Discreet Placement
With its 2.1-inch housing and black finish, the M1250B-HC can be mounted unobtrusively in performance and architectural spaces. Its lightweight construction allows for overhead suspension, instrument mounting, or podium use without visual distraction. This compact form factor is especially valuable in stage productions, conference rooms, and broadcast studios where aesthetics matter.
RF Interference Immunity for Reliable Performance
The M1250B-HC is engineered to resist interference from mobile phones and wireless devices. This RF immunity ensures stable, noise-free performance in modern AV environments filled with wireless communication systems. Whether used in educational facilities, corporate boardrooms, or live event production, it maintains consistent audio quality.
Flexible Mounting and Included Accessories
The microphone ships with a 25-foot detachable cable, microphone stand adapter, hanging clip, and external foam windscreen. These included accessories allow quick adaptation for choir suspension, overhead placement, podium mounting, or studio use. Its versatility makes it a practical solution for stage, studio, and installed sound applications.
