50 Inch Overhead Condenser Microphone for Clean and Controlled Sound Pickup
The Audix MB5055W MicroBoom System is a 50-inch overhead cardioid condenser microphone designed to deliver clear, focused audio capture in live sound, broadcast, and installed sound environments. Built for applications where precise placement and unobtrusive visuals matter, this MicroBoom system combines a high-output miniature condenser capsule with a lightweight carbon fiber boom for accurate sound pickup without cluttering the stage or platform.
Designed for Houses of Worship and Live Performance Spaces
This MicroBoom microphone is especially well suited for houses of worship, concert venues, theaters, and conference stages where overhead miking is required. The cardioid polar pattern focuses on the intended sound source while reducing unwanted ambient noise and stage bleed, making it a dependable solution for speech, vocals, choirs, and acoustic ensembles.
High Output Condenser Capsule for Detailed Audio
Equipped with the M1255B high-output cardioid condenser capsule, the MB5055W delivers strong signal output that allows for lower gain settings at the mixer or preamp. This results in reduced noise and improved clarity, even in challenging acoustic environments. The condenser element captures natural detail and articulation, making it suitable for both spoken word and musical applications.
Lightweight Carbon Fiber Boom with Flexible Positioning
The 50-inch carbon fiber boom provides extended reach while remaining rigid and lightweight for stable positioning. A flexible gooseneck section allows fine adjustments without sagging or drift, ensuring the microphone stays exactly where it is placed. This design supports both horizontal and vertical placement, offering flexibility for a wide range of stage and overhead miking needs.
Integrated Cabling with RF Noise Protection
An internally shielded cable runs through the boom to help reduce radio frequency interference and maintain clean signal transmission. The microphone terminates at a mini-XLR connector at the base, allowing quick connection to the included 25-foot mini-XLR to standard XLR cable. This setup integrates easily with professional mixers, audio interfaces, and phantom-powered systems.
Complete MicroBoom System Ready for Installation
The MB5055W mounts directly to standard microphone stands using the included adapter, making it easy to deploy in portable or permanent setups. A windscreen is included to reduce noise from air movement and plosives, while the white finish helps the microphone blend seamlessly into light-colored ceilings and stage environments.
