The Audix VX-5 is an excellent-sounding hand-held vocal condenser mic that's well-suited for a variety of live, studio, and broadcast applications - and the fact that it looks great is an extra bonus. The VX-5 boasts a smooth frequency response of 40Hz-16kHz. Its supercardioid polar pickup pattern makes it ideal for capturing vocals, but it's equally as great for capturing acoustic instruments - as a mic for drum overheads, brass, woodwinds, guitar, and more. It handles SPL up to 140dB (with a -10 pad) without distorting. Superb off-axis rejection and resistance to plosives only add to the Audix VX-5's ever-increasing presence on pro stages.
