Miniature High Output Cardioid Condenser Microphone for Versatile Audio Capture
The Audix M1255B is a compact black miniature condenser microphone designed for clear, controlled audio capture in professional sound reinforcement, recording, and installed AV environments. Featuring a cardioid polar pattern and an integrated preamplifier, this microphone delivers focused pickup with reliable output for applications where space is limited but audio quality still matters.
Cardioid Pickup Pattern for Balanced Directionality and Control
With its cardioid polar pattern, the M1255B captures sound primarily from the front while reducing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This balance of directionality and openness makes it well suited for choir miking, overhead cymbals, podium use, speech reinforcement, and acoustic instruments, where natural sound and feedback control are both important.
High Output Performance for Distance Miking and Long Cable Runs
The M1255B is engineered with high sensitivity output, allowing it to perform effectively in distance miking situations and over extended cable lengths. This makes it a strong option for hanging microphone installations, ceiling-mounted conference rooms, stage performances, and ambient room capture where microphones cannot be placed close to the sound source.
Integrated Low Noise Preamplifier with Phantom Power Operation
This miniature condenser microphone includes a built-in preamplifier that eliminates the need for external power modules. Operating on standard 48V phantom power, the M1255B delivers consistent signal strength with low self-noise, ensuring dependable performance when connected to mixers, audio interfaces, or DSP-based systems.
RF Interference Resistance for Modern Audio Environments
Designed to maintain signal integrity in today’s RF-heavy spaces, the M1255B resists interference from mobile phones and wireless devices. This makes it reliable for use in corporate AV systems, houses of worship, educational facilities, broadcast settings, and live events where wireless technology is common.
Compact Design with Included Accessories for Flexible Mounting
Measuring just 2.1 inches in length, the M1255B offers a discreet profile that blends easily into stage, studio, or installed environments. The microphone includes a detachable 25-foot mini-XLR to standard XLR cable, along with a hanging clip, microphone stand adapter, foam windscreen, and pouch. These accessories support a wide range of mounting options for vocals, percussion, acoustic instruments, and room miking applications.
