Audix MICROPOD12HC Micro Series Gooseneck Microphone

Professional Podium Microphone For Focused Speech Reinforcement

The Audix MicroPod12HC is a complete podium microphone system designed for clear, controlled speech capture in lecture halls, houses of worship, courtrooms, boardrooms, and conference facilities. By integrating a hypercardioid Micro Series condenser capsule with a flexible gooseneck and mounting hardware, this system delivers precise vocal pickup while reducing room noise and feedback in challenging acoustic environments.

Hypercardioid Pickup For Maximum Directional Control

At the heart of the MicroPod12HC is a hypercardioid condenser microphone capsule engineered to focus tightly on the speaker. This polar pattern significantly reduces off-axis sound, making it ideal for podiums positioned near loudspeakers, reflective surfaces, or ambient noise sources. Speech remains articulate and intelligible, even in reverberant or high-gain sound systems.

Self-Contained Condenser Electronics With Direct XLR Output

The Micro Series capsule used in the MicroPod12HC features built-in condenser electronics and an integrated output stage. This eliminates the need for external preamps or inline power modules, simplifying installation and improving long-term reliability. The XLR male output at the base connects directly to mixers, DSPs, or microphone preamps using standard phantom power.

Quiet And Flexible 12 Inch Gooseneck Design

The included 12-inch gooseneck allows smooth, silent positioning so presenters can easily adjust microphone placement without introducing handling noise. The gooseneck maintains its position once set, ensuring consistent pickup throughout speeches, lectures, or panel discussions. This flexibility makes the system suitable for fixed podiums and shared presentation spaces.

Secure Flange Mount For Permanent Installations

A low-profile flange mount is included for secure surface installation on podiums, pulpits, desks, and lecterns. This mounting option provides a clean, professional appearance while keeping the microphone firmly in place during daily use. The MicroPod12HC is well suited for permanent installed sound applications where reliability and aesthetics matter.

Optimized For Installed Sound And Speech-Critical Venues

Designed specifically for speech-focused environments, the MicroPod12HC delivers consistent performance in venues that demand clarity, gain-before-feedback, and minimal visual distraction. Its compact footprint and controlled pickup pattern make it a trusted choice for AV integrators and facility managers working in corporate, educational, and worship settings.
