AXS 5 CONDENSER MICROPHONE
The AXS 5 is a professional-quality vocal microphone suitable for stu-
dio recording, lead vocal sound reinforcement, and high-profile public
address.
The AXS 5 frequency response is optimized for vocals. The micro-
phone maintains a cardioid polar pattern throughout its frequency
range, ensuring high gain before feedback, maximum rejection of un-
wanted sound, and minimum off-axis sound coloration. Its high sensi-
tivity and low self-noise make it an ideal choice for producing quality
demo tapes.
Operating voltage is supplied either by phantom power or an internal
AA battery.
