Audix MB8450W 84" Gooseneck Condenser Microphone (White, Cardioid)

Professional 84 Inch Overhead Cardioid Microphone System For Choir And Stage

The Audix MB8450W is an 84-inch MicroBoom condenser microphone system designed for overhead sound reinforcement in live performance, installed audio, broadcast, and recording environments. Featuring a white finish for discreet placement in bright spaces, this cardioid condenser system combines a lightweight carbon fiber boom with the M1250B miniature microphone capsule. It delivers clean, focused sound capture for choirs, orchestras, theater productions, houses of worship, and ensemble performances where clarity and visual subtlety are essential.

Lightweight Carbon Fiber Boom With Flexible Gooseneck Control

The 84-inch carbon fiber boom offers exceptional rigidity while remaining lightweight for easy positioning. A flexible metal gooseneck section allows precise microphone angle adjustments, ensuring accurate placement over performers or instruments. This design maintains stability during use while minimizing stand strain and visual distraction, making it ideal for overhead choir miking and stage installations.

Cardioid Condenser Capsule For Controlled Sound Pickup

The included M1250B cardioid miniature condenser capsule provides a balanced pickup pattern that captures vocals and instruments clearly while reducing unwanted ambient noise. The cardioid polar pattern focuses on the intended source and helps control feedback in live sound environments. With a smooth 50 Hz to 19 kHz frequency response, the MB8450W reproduces natural tone and detail suitable for both reinforcement and recording applications.

Shielded Internal Cable With Professional Connectivity

An internally shielded cable runs through the boom to reduce radio frequency interference and maintain a clean signal path. The cable terminates at a mini-XLR connector located at the base of the boom. A 25-foot mini-XLR to standard XLR microphone cable is included, allowing seamless integration with mixing consoles, digital audio systems, and installed sound equipment using standard phantom power.

Flexible Mounting For Vertical Or Horizontal Placement

The included stand adapter enables the MicroBoom to attach securely to most standard microphone stands. The system can be positioned vertically or horizontally depending on the application, supporting overhead choir miking, drum overhead capture, stage ambiance pickup, or ensemble reinforcement. Its slim profile and white finish allow it to blend into ceilings and performance spaces with minimal visibility.

Complete MicroBoom System Ready For Professional Use

The MB8450W ships as a complete overhead microphone solution including the 84-inch boom assembly, M1250B cardioid capsule, windscreen, stand adapter, and 25-foot microphone cable. The interchangeable capsule design supports compatibility with other Micro Series elements when different polar patterns are required. Designed for durability and consistent performance, this condenser microphone system provides controlled sound pickup in demanding live and installed audio environments.
