Audix A127 Omnidirectional Reference Microphone SKU# A127

The A127 Professional Reference Condenser Microphone from Audix is a metal film, reference-grade electret condenser microphone designed to excel in demanding studio and field recording applications. Featuring precision-machined, electro-mechanical components and an extraordinarily flat and wide frequency response, the A127 is supremely adept at a wide range of pro recording applications, especially acoustical reference measurement and sound design.

The electronic circuit features actively driven shielding with gold-plating for excellent protection against external interference or capacitive coupling, and the housing is constructed from corrosion-resistant brass for durability. The transformerless design enables ultralow noise, and the 3-micron metal film diaphragm provides an astonishing level of detail and transient clarity. The omnidirectional polar pattern and pro-grade specs make the A127 a great mic for numerous applications in the field or studio, from recording orchestras and ensembles, to drum overheads, to top-quality on-site sound for video documentaries, broadcast, and live concerts. For truly accurate audio and incredibly reliable performance, the Audix A127 is an ideal choice.

Whether you’re setting up a pro-level studio or your home setup, you’ll need a reference mic to measure the characteristics of your room. Our go-to reference microphone is the Audix A172. It showcases an incredibly flat frequency response, ensuring that you get the most accurate results possible. Audix didn’t stop there, however. This omnidirectional condenser microphone doubles as a high-definition recording mic. It has an ultra-low self-noise of just 7dBA, enabling it to capture any acoustic source in all its glory. Plus, it handles high SPLs like a champ. If you’re in the market for a new reference microphone, the Audix A127 can do it all.

You may be reading this and saying to yourself, “A reference mic for recording? How can that be?” Audix designed the A127 to be much more than a standard reference microphone. They loaded it with a pre-polarized, half-inch metal film capsule for ultra-accurate frequency response and with very little self-noise. It can handle up to 140 dB SPL, making it an excellent choice for almost any source. Throw a stereo pair above a piano, orchestra, or drum kit, and you’ll be impressed with the results.

For musical applications such as symphony orchestra, strings, brass, choir, pipe organ, percussion and other acoustic instruments, the phase response, accuracy and clarity of the A127 make it the perfect choice for spot miking, as well as mid-field and far-field applications. Metal film omnidirectional microphones are able to capture the complete character, tonality, and essence of an instrument in the most uniform and accurate fashion.

With its omnidirectional polar pattern, the A127 excels as a room mic and can be incorporated into a variety of stereo miking techniques. Professional recording engineers often use a stereo pair of omnidirectional microphones for recording orchestra, stringed instruments and string ensembles, piano and piano ensembles, classical guitar, pipe organ and choir. Depending on the size and acoustics of the room, omnidirectional microphones will most accurately recreate the experience of being in the audience.

Given its compact size, low-noise preamp and extraordinary stability, the A127 is ideal for field recording, documentaries, sound gathering, and acoustic measurements.
