PERFORMANCE IS EVERYTHING
SCX-25
STUDIO
CONDENSER MICROPHONE
overview
The SCX-25 is a condenser microphone with an elegant design
and a revolutionary capsule suspension system. Uniquely
shock mounted within an intricate machined brass ring, the
SCX-25 capsule is completely isolated from the mic body and
the electronics. By successfully minimizing acoustic reflecĀtions and diffractions, SCX-25 delivers a pure, open-air sound
unlike any other microphone, regardless of size or cost.
Delivering a smooth uniform cardioid frequency response from
20 - 20k, the SCX-25 will reproduce vocals and acoustic
instruments with exceptional detail and realism. The SCX-25 is
very consistent when responding to incoming off-axis signals,
exhibiting excellent phase coherence and minimal proximity effect.
By employing miniaturized low noise components, the preamp
circuitry for the SCX-25 is housed within a brass microphone
body which is merely 4 inches long. The result is the smallest
footprint of any large diaphragm microphone to date, allowing
the SCX-25 more convenience and freedom when it comes to
mic placement. And because of the internal capsule suspenĀsion mounting system, the need for costly shock mounts is
eliminated and set-up time is greatly simplified.
The SCX-25 operates on phantom power of 48 - 52 Volts.
Optimum results will be achieved by using the SCX-25 with a
high quality mic preamplifier and premium quality microphone cable.
