Audix’s has released its latest large-diaphragm studio vocal microphone, the A231. The A231 is ideal for lead and backing vocals, spoken word and voiceover applications, and acoustic instrument miking. The mic features a gold-plated brass band around the circumference of the A231 and its 33-millimeter, true condenser boasts a precision-tensioned diaphragm with gold deposition all the way to its far edges. This produces an effective diaphragm area approximately 25 percent larger than that of a typical large-diaphragm condenser mic and results in a sound that’s neutral and rich at the same time. An exacting cardioid pickup pattern offers a predictable proximity effect and exceptional off-axis rejection.
