24 Inch Carbon Fiber MicroBoom System with Cardioid Condenser Mic
The Audix MB2455 MicroBoom System is a compact 24-inch carbon fiber boom microphone solution designed for precise overhead miking and instrument capture in live sound, broadcast, and studio environments. This system combines a lightweight MicroBoom arm with the M1255B cardioid miniature condenser microphone, giving audio professionals accurate placement, clean signal transfer, and natural sound reproduction in a streamlined, low-profile format.
Cardioid Condenser Microphone for Controlled Sound Pickup
Included with the system is the M1255B miniature condenser microphone featuring a cardioid polar pattern. The cardioid pickup focuses on sound directly in front of the capsule while reducing unwanted background noise and feedback. This makes the MB2455 an excellent choice for choir miking, acoustic instruments, percussion, drum overheads, speech reinforcement, and ambient room capture.
High Output Design with Integrated Preamplifier
The M1255B condenser microphone contains a built-in preamplifier and operates on standard 48V phantom power. Its high-output circuitry supports long cable runs without signal degradation, making it well suited for stage performances, installed audio systems, and group vocal applications. The wide frequency response captures both vocal clarity and instrumental detail with accuracy.
Lightweight 24 Inch Carbon Fiber Boom Arm
The 24-inch carbon fiber MicroBoom rod is rigid yet extremely lightweight, allowing for stable positioning without adding unnecessary weight to microphone stands. It attaches to any standard mic stand and can be positioned horizontally or vertically depending on the application. The stand adapter features a flexible metal gooseneck, providing precise control over angle, rotation, and placement.
Clean Signal Path with Shielded Internal Cable
A shielded internal cable runs through the boom to minimize RF interference and maintain a clean audio path from capsule to connector. The microphone connects at the tip of the boom using a discreet mini-XLR connection, maintaining a clean and professional appearance. The included 25-foot mini-XLR to XLR cable integrates easily with mixers, preamps, and audio interfaces.
Versatile Micro Series Compatibility and Professional Build
The MicroBoom arm is compatible with Audix Micro Series capsules, offering flexibility for users who may want alternative pickup patterns. Designed for professional audio applications including worship services, orchestra miking, acoustic bass, cello, timpani, and overhead cymbals, the MB2455 system provides dependable performance with minimal visual impact.
