Audix SCX1HC Hypercardioid Studio Microphone - Compact, High Sensitivity

Audix SCX1HC Hypercardioid Studio Microphone - Compact, High Sensitivity arrives as a precision studio condenser designed for demanding recording environments, featuring specifications that make it ideal for detailed vocal and instrument capture.

The SCX1HC offers a wide frequency response from 40 to 20,000 Hz and outstanding sensitivity, rated at 130 dB with 26 mV/Pa at 1 kHz, ensuring subtle nuances are preserved in your recordings. Its hypercardioid/subcardioid capsule focuses on the desired source while reducing off-axis noise for cleaner takes.

Built with a solid brass housing finished in black, this wired mini XLR (3-pin) interface microphone combines durability with pro-level signal integrity. The device input impedance of 200 Ω and an impressive dynamic range of 116 dB support clear, distortion-free performance across quiet and loud passages.

With a high signal-to-noise ratio of 80 dB, the SCX1HC minimizes self-noise, making it well suited to studio situations where clarity matters. The compact dimensions—21 mm width, 104 mm height, 2.1 cm diameter—and a lightweight 114 g profile make it easy to position on stands or mounts without adding bulk.

The package is thoughtfully composed for immediate use: each boxed set includes 1 x SCX1 Studio Condenser Microphone, a CASEWOOD foam-lined wooden carrying case, a DCLIP microphone clip and a WS81C external windscreen. The product ships as a set of 4 pieces when ordered in multi-packs, and it supports plug-and-play operation for fast setup.

Typical use cases include vocal tracking for podcasting and voiceover, close-miking of acoustic instruments, and precision source capture for broadcast and streaming. Its hypercardioid pattern is particularly advantageous in noisy rooms or when isolating a single source on stage.

Key selling points are the microphone's high sensitivity and low self-noise, the durable brass construction, and the professional connectivity via mini XLR. These features make the Audix SCX1HC an excellent choice for studios, mobile recording rigs, and live environments requiring focused capture.
