50 Inch Overhead Choir Microphone System for Live and Installed Sound
The Audix MB5055WHC is a 50-inch MicroBoom condenser microphone system designed for overhead choir miking, stage ensembles, and installed sound applications. Combining a lightweight carbon fiber boom with the high-output M1255BHC hypercardioid capsule, this system delivers focused, detailed audio capture while maintaining a clean and professional appearance in white for discreet placement in churches, auditoriums, and performance venues.
High Output Hypercardioid Capsule for Clear and Controlled Pickup
Equipped with the M1255BHC high-output condenser capsule, the MB5055WHC provides strong signal levels that allow lower gain settings at the preamp. The hypercardioid polar pattern offers tight directional control, reducing off-axis noise and minimizing bleed from adjacent performers or stage monitors. With a wide frequency response of 50 Hz to 19 kHz, this overhead microphone system captures natural vocal detail and accurate instrument reproduction.
50 Inch Carbon Fiber Boom for Stable Overhead Positioning
The 50-inch carbon fiber boom is rigid yet lightweight, making it easy to mount and position above choirs, orchestras, or stage performers. A flexible metal gooseneck section at the capsule end allows fine-tuned aiming for precise sound pickup. The design supports horizontal or vertical use, offering flexibility for live stage applications, houses of worship, and broadcast environments.
Shielded Internal Cabling with Mini XLR Connection
An internally shielded cable runs through the boom to reduce RF interference and maintain a clean signal path. The base terminates in a mini-XLR connector, and a 25-foot mini-XLR to standard XLR microphone cable is included for direct connection to mixers and audio interfaces. The system operates on standard phantom power, eliminating the need for external power modules.
Versatile Mounting for Choirs, Theatres, and Houses of Worship
The MB5055WHC mounts easily to most standard microphone stands using the included adapter. Its white finish blends into ceilings and stage environments, making it ideal for church choir miking, theatre productions, school performances, and conference spaces. The interchangeable capsule design is compatible with Audix Micro Series capsules, allowing customization for specific pickup patterns and applications.
Professional Design Made in the USA
Designed, machined, assembled, and tested in the USA, the MB5055WHC is built for dependable performance in demanding environments. Lightweight construction, stable positioning, and consistent sound quality make it a practical solution for overhead condenser microphone applications in both portable and installed sound systems.
