The Audix A231 large diaphragm condenser microphone pair provides a balanced, nuanced tone for capturing vocals and acoustic instruments. Featuring a 30mm gold film capsule and low noise preamp circuitry housed in a machined aluminum body, the A231 delivers professional results in an intuitive, straightforward design. The A231's cardioid polar pattern focuses on sound in front of the mic while reducing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. An internal shock mount isolates the capsule from vibrations and handling noise. A driven shield protects the signal path from electromagnetic interference for a clean, noise-free signal. With a frequency response tailored for a natural sound, the A231 is an ideal solution for home studios, video production and live sound reinforcement.

Pristine 30mm Gold Film Capsule

At the heart of the A231 is a high-quality 30mm gold film capsule that provides a balanced, transparent tone. The capsule's large diaphragm is ultra-sensitive, capturing the subtle textures and nuances of any sound. The gold film material is renowned for a smooth, extended high-end response and rich lows.

Internal Shock Mount Reduces Vibrations

An internal shock mount isolates the A231's capsule from stand vibrations, handling noise and touch transients. Your recordings will be free of unwanted rumble and handling noise, even when the mic is adjusted or moved during a take. The shock mount's internal design also provides a compact form factor so the A231 takes up minimal space on a mic stand or in your gear bag.

Driven Shield Prevents Interference

A driven shield protects the signal path between the A231's capsule and preamp from electromagnetic interference and stray radio frequency signals. Your recordings will be clean and noise-free, even in environments prone to electronic noise. The driven shield ensures that the only sound captured is the intended source in front of the microphone.

Dual Mesh Grill Protects the Capsule

A durable dual mesh grill protects the A231's capsule while allowing sound to pass through uncolored. The tight weave prevents debris and particles from entering the capsule, while the open area of the mesh does not affect the microphone's frequency response. Rugged and dent-resistant, the mesh grill is built to withstand the rigors of studio and stage use.
