AXS 4 Condenser Microphone

The AXS 4 is a professional quality condenser microphone suitable for sound reinforcement and studio recording of acoustic guitar, drums, stringed instruments, and vocals (when mounted on a stand).

The AXS 4 has a wide frequency response for natural sound repro- duction. It maintains a cardioid polar pattern throughout its frequency range, which ensures high gain before feedback and maximum isola- tion from unwanted sound sources. Its high sensitivity and low self± noise make it ideal for producing quality demo tapes.

Operating voltage is supplied by phantom power or an AA battery.
