ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER SPECIFICATIONS
The microphone shall be a back plate pre-polarized condenser with a modular
threaded capsule and hemi-cardioid polar pattern. The microphone shall oper-
ate on 9-52 Volts phantom power and the nominal output impedance shall be
equal to 250 ohms at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a sensitivity of 5 mV /
Pa at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a maximum SPL level of ≥130 dB with
a THD of 0.5%. The microphone casing shall be die cast from zinc alloy with
dimensions of 70 mm in width and 80 mm in length. The microphone shall be
the Audix ADX60.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The ADX60 is a low impedance microphone and should be plugged into one of
the mic level inputs on your mixer, console, or recording device. The ADX60 will
NOT operate without phantom power voltage (48 Volts recommended) which
is available on most professional mic preamps and mixing devices. If phantom
power is not available on your equipment, use the Audix APS911 phantom
power supply which allows battery powered operation. Avoid plugging or
unplugging the microphone from a PA system unless the channel is muted or
the volume of the system is turned down. Failure to do so may result in a loud
“popping” noise which could seriously damage the speakers in the PA system.
APS910 phantom power adapter: Note that the mini-XLRf connector at the
end of the ADX60 mic cable plugs into mini-XLRm side of the APS910 power
adapter. From there, plug a standard XLR-XLR microphone cable to complete
the connection from the APS910 to the mixing board. The APS910 may also be
plugged directly into the mixing console or snake.
USER TIPS
The ADX60 is a boundary microphone designed in order that the pick up pattern
is relative (parallel) to the surface on which it is placed. This allows a wide array of
creative microphone placement techniques on walls, floors, ceilings, and panels
to help create the “sound field.” These sound fields around the microphone allow
sounds to be captured from above; for instance, when the mic is placed on the
ground for a stage play, or from below as when taped to the inside of a piano lid.
The front of the microphone (the side with the “Audix” logo) should always
be aimed at the sound source. As outlined above, you can experiment with a
variety of microphones to achieve the optimum result.
In a conference room: Several microphones can be used (one every 3-4’).
In a play: The microphones should be placed 1-2’ from the edge of the stage
and positioned every 5’ for stages larger than 25’.
For a smaller stage: 2 mics may be used 10-15’ apart.
