24 Inch MicroBoom System with Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone
The Audix MB2450HC MicroBoom System is a compact 24-inch carbon fiber boom microphone solution designed for precise, controlled sound capture in live sound, broadcast, and installed audio environments. This system pairs a lightweight MicroBoom arm with the M1250B-HC hypercardioid miniature condenser microphone, giving audio professionals accurate placement, reduced visual clutter, and dependable performance for demanding applications.
Hypercardioid Pickup for Maximum Noise Rejection
At the core of the system is the M1250B-HC miniature condenser microphone, featuring a hypercardioid polar pattern. This tighter pickup pattern focuses on the intended sound source while rejecting off-axis noise and feedback. It is especially effective for choir miking, overhead percussion, acoustic instruments, speech reinforcement, and situations where isolation from surrounding sound sources is critical.
High Sensitivity Condenser with Integrated Electronics
The M1250B-HC includes a built-in preamplifier and operates on standard 48V phantom power, eliminating the need for external power modules. Its high sensitivity and wide frequency response allow it to capture both vocals and instruments with clarity and detail. The high-output design supports long cable runs without signal loss, making it suitable for stages, houses of worship, and large venues.
Lightweight Carbon Fiber Boom with Flexible Positioning
The 24-inch MicroBoom arm is constructed from rigid carbon fiber, providing strength without added weight. It mounts to any standard microphone stand and can be positioned horizontally or vertically. The included stand adapter with a flexible metal gooseneck allows precise control over angle, rotation, and placement, making it easy to position the microphone exactly where it is needed.
Clean Signal Path with Shielded Internal Cabling
A shielded internal cable runs through the MicroBoom to maintain a clean audio signal and reduce radio frequency interference. The microphone connects at the tip of the boom using a discreet mini-XLR connector, keeping the setup visually unobtrusive. A detachable 25-foot mini-XLR to XLR cable is included for easy integration with mixers, preamps, and audio interfaces.
Versatile System for Professional Audio Applications
Designed for flexibility, the MicroBoom arm is compatible with Audix Micro Series condenser capsules, allowing users to adapt the system for different pickup patterns as needed. The MB2450HC system is well suited for applications such as cello, acoustic bass, timpani, choir, overhead cymbals, ambient room capture, and spoken word reinforcement, all while maintaining a clean and professional appearance.
