Audix VX5 Manual

VX5
Condenser Vocal
Microphone
OVERVIEW
The VX5 is a professional vocal condenser microphone designed for a wide variety
of live, studio and broadcast applications. With an ability to duplicate studio quality
sound on stage, the VX5 is known for its smooth and accurate frequency response,
resistance to feedback and ability to handle very high sound pressure levels without
distortion.
The VX5 is characterized with a tight and uniformly controlled supercardioid polar
pattern which helps to isolate the vocals from the rest of the instruments on stage.
With a wide frequency range of 40 Hz - 16.5 kHz, the VX5 has a very clean and natural
sound with exceptional transient response. This mic requires 9 - 52 volts phantom
power.
Other features include a 14 mm gold vapor diaphragm, an acoustically ported steel
mesh grill with multi-stage pop filter and a -10 dB pad and bass roll-off filter. The VX5
will handle sound pressure levels in excess of 140 dB (with pad and roll-off engaged)
and will provide over 20 dB of ambient noise rejection on live stages.
In addition to vocal applications, the VX5 is ideally suited to capture acoustic
instruments such as guitar, woodwinds, brass, percussion toys, drum overheads,
hi-hat and piano. It is a very versitile mic for home studio recording. The VX5 is well
balanced, comfortable to hold, durable, and designed with very high standards and
tight tolerances.
The VX5 is manufactured with a precision die cast zinc alloy body, durable black
E-coat finish and gold plated XLR connector.
