The Story
The ADX40 is a miniaturized condenser microphone designed to hang from an overhead position for applications such as group vocals, choir, theatrical production, and room ambience. Having a uniformly controlled cardioid polar pattern, the ADX40 helps isolate the area or section being miked from other vocals or instruments on stage. The ADX40 is also available in a hyper-cardioid polar pattern for tighter pick-up control. With a wide frequency range of 40 Hz β 20 kHz, the ADX40 provides natural sound with an exceptional sound response. The ADX40 miniature hanging condenser microphone is supplied with an attached 30β² shielded cable, external windscreen, wire hanger for positioning, and phantom power adapter. 9 β 52 V phantom required.
