Audix VX5 Handheld Supercardioid Condenser Mic

Versatile, Studio-Quality Sound on Stage

The VX5 is a high-performance condenser microphone designed for versatility across live, studio, and broadcast settings. Known for its studio-grade sound reproduction, it delivers smooth, accurate audio with outstanding feedback resistance and handles high SPLs without distortion — perfect for live vocals that require studio-quality clarity on stage.

Exceptional Control and Clarity

Featuring a tight, uniformly controlled supercardioid polar pattern, the VX5 isolates vocals from surrounding stage noise. Key components include a 14 mm gold vapor diaphragm, an acoustically ported steel mesh grill, and a multi-stage pop filter, all designed to ensure precise sound capture and minimal handling noise. The microphone is equipped with a -10 dB pad and bass roll-off filter, enabling it to handle SPLs over 140 dB, with more than 20 dB of ambient noise rejection on live stages.
