Audix SCX-25
The SCX-25 is a cardioid condenser microphone. Some call this and the T.H.E. mic a "lollipop" mic. Guess why? The mic has a capsule suspension system that is said to "completely isolate it from the mic body and the electronics." The goal is to minimize acoustic reflections and diffractions, "delivering a pure, open-air sound unlike any other microphone, regardless of size or cost."
This is basically a 1" (large) diaphragm mic with electronics similar to the SCX-1. This is one of the world's smallest large diaphragm mics. Audix recommends this mic for studio vocals, voice-overs, choirs, ambient room miking, drum overheads, orchestras, bells, chimes, marimba, vibes, acoustic instruments (piano, sax, strings, guitar, flute).
These mics come in a classy, cherry wood box, with stand mount and windscreen.
