Audix MB8450WHC 84" Gooseneck Condenser Microphone (White, Hypercardioid)

84 Inch White Hypercardioid Overhead Microphone System For Choir And Stage

The Audix MB8450WHC is an 84-inch white MicroBoom condenser microphone system designed for precise overhead sound capture in live performance, installed audio, and broadcast environments. Built around the M1250BHC hypercardioid miniature condenser capsule, this system delivers focused pickup with strong off-axis rejection. It is engineered for choirs, orchestras, theatrical productions, worship services, and stage applications where clarity, feedback control, and minimal visual presence are essential.

Hypercardioid Capsule For Maximum Isolation And Feedback Control

The included M1250BHC hypercardioid condenser capsule provides a tighter pickup pattern than standard cardioid microphones, making it ideal for challenging acoustic environments. The hypercardioid design reduces ambient stage noise and limits bleed from nearby performers or instruments. With a smooth 50 Hz to 19 kHz frequency response, this overhead condenser microphone reproduces vocals and acoustic instruments with detail and accuracy while maintaining control in high-SPL live sound settings.

Lightweight Carbon Fiber Boom With Precision Gooseneck Positioning

The 84-inch boom is constructed from lightweight carbon fiber, offering exceptional rigidity without adding strain to microphone stands. A flexible metal gooseneck section allows fine adjustment of microphone angle and placement. This combination ensures stable overhead positioning while maintaining a clean and professional stage appearance. The slim white finish blends seamlessly into ceilings and performance spaces, making it suitable for permanent installations and broadcast environments.

Internal Shielded Cable With Professional Mini XLR Connectivity

An internally shielded cable runs through the boom assembly to minimize radio frequency interference and maintain signal integrity. 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 connection to mixing consoles, digital audio systems, and installed sound systems using standard phantom power.

Flexible Mounting For Vertical Or Horizontal Applications

The included stand adapter allows the MicroBoom to mount securely to most standard microphone stands. The MB8450WHC can be positioned vertically or horizontally depending on the application, supporting overhead choir miking, drum overhead capture, ensemble reinforcement, and room ambiance recording. Its rigid construction ensures consistent placement throughout performances without unwanted movement.

Complete Overhead Microphone System Ready For Professional Use

This MicroBoom system includes the 84-inch boom, M1250BHC hypercardioid capsule, windscreen, stand adapter, and 25-foot microphone cable. The interchangeable capsule design allows compatibility with other Micro Series elements when different pickup patterns are required. Designed for durability and reliable performance, the MB8450WHC provides controlled overhead sound capture in demanding live and installed audio environments.
