AXS 4 CONDENSER MICROPHONE
The AXS 4 is a professional quality condenser microphone suitable for
sound reinforcement and studio recording of acoustic guitar, drums,
stringed instruments, and vocals (when mounted on a stand).
The AXS 4 has a wide frequency response for natural sound repro-
duction. It maintains a cardioid polar pattern throughout its frequency
range, which ensures high gain before feedback and maximum isola-
tion from unwanted sound sources. Its high sensitivity and low self–
noise make it ideal for producing quality demo tapes.
Operating voltage is supplied by phantom power or an AA battery.
