512 Audio Launches Line of Professional Gear Built for Creators

512 Audio, a new Austin-based audio brand, has announced along with its debut two XLR microphones 一 Limelight (pictured) and Skylight 一 and a lineup of studio essentials for creating podcasts, livestreams, vocal recordings and more. Developed by the team behind Warm Audio’s classic-inspired microphones, preamps, guitar pedals and more, 512 Audio launches from the creative culture of Austin at a time when people are producing more content than ever before.

“Instead of focusing on the specs war, we thought about how audio gear would be used by people, what they want to create, and how they want to connect,” said Tommy Edwards, VP of product strategy for 512 Audio and Warm Audio. “512 Audio microphones and accessories are built to capture everything creators need and nothing they don’t. We specifically tuned the mics to focus on the frequencies that would deliver the most for the creators without any noise they don’t need. We wanted to deliver the best of pro audio in a tailor-made, uncomplicated way.”

For it’s initial debut, 512 Audio is introducing five products built to help creators capture speech and vocals with clarity and warmth, making audiences feel as if they’re listening in person. These products include:

Limelight is a dynamic vocal XLR mic that delivers superior clarity for close-range, talk-focused podcasts, broadcasts or live streams. The combination of a modern circuit and professional dynamic capsule produces smooth, clear audio. Limelight’s hypercardioid pattern creates a hyper-focused pickup field to capture voice and cut out unwanted ambient noise.

Skylight is a large-diaphragm condenser XLR microphone featuring a 34-mm, gold-plated capsule engineered with top-of-the-line components and a voice-tailored frequency response to capture the warmth and detail of speech and singing vocals. With a fixed cardioid pickup pattern, Skylight records the voice in front of the mic and reduces ambient room noise. The included metal mesh pop filter and low-profile shockmount eliminate unwanted plosives and low-end rumble delivering a clean, natural sound.

The 512-BBA Boom Arm is an adjustable microphone boom arm with a 360-degree rotation and silent, high-tension spring design for easily achieving stay-in-place mic positioning for podcasting, streaming or recording.

The Academy Headphones studio monitor headphones with 45-mm dynamic drivers precision-tuned to deliver superior clarity when monitoring speech and vocals. With an ergonomic design and superior acoustic seal, creators can hear every nuance of their recordings with clarity and comfort.

The 512-Pop Professional Microphone Pop Filter is a metal mesh pop filter that helps achieve clear, natural speech and vocals.

“Living and working in Austin, we are in the heart of a creator culture, but regardless of where you are, creator content dominates what we listen to and watch, ” said Bryce Young, founder and CEO of 512 Audio and Warm Audio. “We all have that creator whose content connects with us, whether it’s in music, gaming, politics, faith or passion projects. 512 Audio was our way to build audio gear specifically for creators to make closer connections to their audiences.”
