AXS 3 DYNAMIC MICROPHONE
The AXS 3 is a dynamic vocal microphone designed for sound rein-
forcement and project studio recording applications.
Its smooth frequency response is tailored for vocals. The cardioid po-
lar pattern remains uniform throughout its frequency range, ensuring
high gain before feedback, maximum rejection of unwanted sound,
and minimum off-axis sound coloration. A neodymium magnet pro-
vides high output level and high signal-to-noise ratio.
A steel mesh ball grille, die-cast handle, and proven shock mount sys-
tem ensure reliable performance, even in the roughest environments.
