Audix never had that much of a brand recognition as far as I know, but I remember buying three "kits" for our local student radio some 20 years ago. We went for Yamaha mixers and Audix handheld condenser microphones. I also bought the same model of Audix for my own personal money and used that when I recorded my "Show" from my student housing. I always enjoyed the sound of it, but I think this is the only microphone I have owned that have died on me...

That's unfortunate about your mic and maybe just 1 off as I had no issues with any Audix gear over the years also mine is a probably a newer Audix version and all has been great so hopefully nothing negative happens to it.

Never tried, never knew there was a mk1.
@taperotarchives14 күн бұрын
@@iantrewhella9470 I just found out. The MK2 has got a golden grille, and is supposed better than the MK1 in a few ways "Whereas the original R102 rolls off sharply above 5kHz, the Mk II has its -3dB point around 13kHz "
@iantrewhella947014 күн бұрын
Thanks for the update then that makes sense as to why this mic is so dark sounding (especially on voice). I might look out for a MK2 to try.

Great video Ian! Thank you very much for doing it. It's very interesting to hear how different mics capture the saxophone sound. I had excellent results with an unexpected microphone, the Shure SM81 which is mostly used for drums overhead. Its death plain and even response help to get really nice saxophone takes.
