The SCX-25 is a true condenser microphone with an elegantdesign and a patented capsule suspension system. Uniquelyshock mounted within an intricate machined brass ring, theSCX25 capsule is completely isolated from the mic body andthe electronics. By successfully minimizing acoustic reflec-tions and diffractions, SCX-25 delivers a pure, open-air soundunlike any other microphone.Delivering a smooth uniform frequency response from 20Hz–20 kHz, the SCX25 will reproduce vocals and acousticinstruments with exceptional detail and realism. The SCX-25 is very consistent when responding to incomingoff-axis signals, exhibiting excellent phase coherence andminimal proximity effect. By employing miniaturized low noise components, the pre-amp circuitry for the SCX-25 is housed within a brass micro-phone body which is merely 4 inches long. The result is thesmallest footprint of any large diaphragm microphone todate, allowing the SCX-25 more convenience and freedomwhen it comes to mic placement. And because of the internalcapsule suspension mounting system, the need for costlyshock mounts is eliminated and set-up time is greatlysimplified. The SCX-25 operates on phantom power of 48–52 Volts.Optimum results will be achieved by using the SCX-25 with ahigh quality mic preamplifier and premium quality micro-phone cable
