High Output Miniature Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone for Professional Audio
The Audix M1255B-HC is a compact black miniature condenser microphone designed to deliver focused, high-output audio capture in professional sound reinforcement, recording, and installed AV environments. With its hypercardioid polar pattern and integrated preamplifier, this microphone is built for distance miking applications where clarity, control, and feedback rejection are essential.
Hypercardioid Pickup for Superior Noise and Feedback Control
Equipped with a hypercardioid capsule, the M1255B-HC provides tight directional pickup with strong rejection of off-axis sound. This makes it an excellent choice for choir miking, overhead cymbals, speech reinforcement, podium use, and stage applications where ambient noise, monitor bleed, or room reflections need to be minimized. The controlled pickup pattern helps maintain intelligibility in challenging acoustic spaces.
High Sensitivity Output for Long Cable Runs and Distance Miking
This miniature condenser microphone is engineered with high-output circuitry, allowing it to perform reliably over long cable runs without signal loss. Its sensitivity makes it well suited for ceiling-mounted microphones, hanging choir setups, conference rooms, lecture halls, and performance venues where microphones must be placed farther from the sound source while still delivering detailed audio.
Integrated Low Noise Preamplifier with Phantom Power Support
The M1255B-HC features a fully integrated miniature preamp housed within its compact body, eliminating the need for external adapters or power modules. Operating on standard 18 to 52V phantom power, the microphone delivers low self-noise performance and consistent output for professional mixers, audio interfaces, and DSP-based systems.
RF Interference Immunity for Modern AV Environments
Designed to withstand radio frequency interference from mobile phones and wireless devices, this microphone maintains clean signal integrity in RF-dense environments. This makes it reliable for broadcast facilities, corporate AV installations, houses of worship, and live events where wireless communication is present.
Compact Design with Versatile Mounting Accessories Included
Measuring only 2.1 inches in length, the M1255B-HC offers a discreet profile for instrument mounting, overhead placement, or ceiling suspension. The included detachable 25-foot mini-XLR to standard XLR cable provides flexible integration with professional audio systems. A microphone stand adapter, hanging clip, foam windscreen, and protective pouch are included, supporting a wide range of mounting and usage scenarios for vocals, percussion, acoustic instruments, and ambient room capture.
