High Output Miniature Cardioid Condenser Microphone for Install and Stage
The Audix M1255BW is a compact 12mm cardioid condenser microphone designed for distance miking, installed sound, and live performance applications where clarity and sensitivity matter. Built with an integrated preamp and high-output circuitry, this white miniature microphone delivers clean, detailed audio for conferencing, choir miking, room capture, and acoustic instruments without requiring bulky external components.
Cardioid Pickup Pattern for Focused Sound Control
Equipped with a cardioid capsule, the M1255BW concentrates on sound coming from the front while reducing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This directional control makes it a strong choice for speech reinforcement, podium use, overhead stage miking, and room installations where feedback rejection and source isolation are essential. The result is improved intelligibility in both live and recorded environments.
High Sensitivity for Distance and Ceiling Miking
Designed with very high sensitivity, the M1255BW performs exceptionally well in distance miking scenarios. Whether suspended above a choir, mounted on a ceiling for conferencing, or positioned for audience and ambient pickup, this microphone captures consistent audio detail across larger spaces. Its high-output design also supports longer cable runs without signal loss, making it suitable for permanent AV installations and professional sound systems.
Integrated Miniature Preamplifier with Phantom Power Operation
The M1255BW features fully integrated preamp circuitry within its compact housing, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. It operates on standard 18 to 52V phantom power and delivers stable, low-noise performance. The internal design simplifies setup while maintaining reliable operation in stage, studio, and broadcast environments.
Immune to RF Interference for Reliable Performance
Built with strong resistance to radio frequency interference, the M1255BW maintains clean audio even in environments filled with wireless devices, cell phones, and GSM signals. This makes it a dependable solution for conference rooms, houses of worship, corporate AV systems, and broadcast setups where interference can compromise signal quality.
Flexible Mounting and Professional Accessories Included
The microphone includes a detachable 25-foot cable, stand clip, hanging clip, foam windscreen, and protective pouch, allowing for flexible installation and quick deployment. Its low-profile 54 mm length and white finish help it blend discreetly into ceilings and stage environments. A wide range of optional clips and accessories further expand its use for instruments, overhead mounting, and presentation setups.
Made in the USA with Multiple Capsule Options Available
Designed, machined, assembled, and tested in the USA, the M1255BW is part of a versatile series that includes hypercardioid, omnidirectional, and shotgun capsule variations. This flexibility allows integrators and audio professionals to select the ideal polar pattern for specific room acoustics and application needs.
