The Audix A231 is a condenser microphone that represents a technological advancement from its predecessors – the A131 and A133. It excels at recording speech, vocals, concert sounds, and solo instrumental performances. While it's designed for studio use, its compact size allows for easy portability virtually anywhere.
Microphone for Demanding Applications
The capsule of this model measures 33 mm and utilizes 25% more membrane surface area compared to similar products from competitors. The result? A wide and natural frequency response. Thanks to its practical cardioid directional characteristic, this equipment reduces ambient noise. So, if unwanted sounds are still bothering you in your recordings, this is the right model for you. It features a low-noise preamplifier circuit using the proprietary Driven Shield technology.
Shock and Impact Resistance
The grill construction protects against unwanted effects of impacts during recording. It is made of double-braided steel mesh and equipped with an extremely thin acoustic foam filter. The microphone also has shock-absorbing protection that isolates the capsule from any vibrations or mechanical disturbances.
Not Just for Vocals
With the Audix A231, you can record not only speech or vocals; the maximum Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of this model is 140 dB, allowing for efficient recording of drums or guitar amplifiers. The self-noise level of 12 dBA and dynamic range of 128 dB mean that you can also use the new Audix for recording orchestra performances, as well as string instruments or double bass.
Design Changes
The A131 weighed 280 g, while the Audix A231 weighs 330 g. Where does the additional weight come from? A noticeable, brass-gilded ring distinguishes the model and adds mass for better stability.
For Whom?
As mentioned earlier, the Audix A231 handles not only vocals but also instruments adeptly. It's compact, so you can carry it from home to the studio and back easily. The directional characteristic also means that sound can be recorded practically anywhere without compromising quality. Because of this, the microphone has a truly wide target audience and will be useful for singers, narrators, radio hosts, podcasters, musicians, YouTubers, and streamers.
