A highly versatile dynamic mic

The PDX720 from US manufacturer Audix is a high-performance dynamic microphone for a wide range of professional studio applications and represents an excellent choice for recording speech and vocals in particular. The microphone has a distinctive sound signature that will deliver smooth-sounding vocals with a very natural low-end extension which, particularly when it is used at close proximity, brings out the inherent warmth of the human voice. Its features include two three-position switches for high-pass filtering and presence boost, respectively, as well as an integrated preamp circuit, and the whole ensemble comes in an attractive aluminium housing that includes an integrated mounting socket for attachment to a stand or boom arm.

Presence boost at the flick of a switch

The gold-finished grille of the Audix PDX720 conceals a moving-coil capsule with a hypercardioid polar pattern, which ensures effective suppression of noise coming from the sides of the microphone, and its integrated high-pass filter can be set to 120Hz or 155Hz to reduce solid-borne noise in a natural-sounding way. To a certain extent, the 155Hz filter can additionally be used to shape the mic's tonal characteristics. The clarity of both vocals and instruments can also be enhanced right at the start of the signal chain thanks to the switchable presence boost, which adds an extra 1.5dB or 3dB in the range of 4kHz to 8kHz.

No cloudlifter required

The flexibility of the Audix PDX720 dynamic microphone makes it enimently suitable for use in any professional production environment - from recording and broadcasting studios through to podcasting and streaming. The mic's integrated preamp circuit is a major bonus here, since it ensures a high level of signal integrity and eliminates the need for an inline amplifier. Both the two-stage presence boost and the high-pass filter - activated via DIP switches on the bottom side of the microphone - allow the sound to be quickly and easily customised to suit a range of different recording situations. Whatever the application, the Audix PDX720's high-quality components and materials promise both an optimum sound and outstanding reliability.
