The Audio-Technica Pro 25AX is a dynamic instrument microphone with a hyper-cardioid polar pattern and high Sound Pressure Level (SPL) capability. Tailored for instruments with high SPL response, the Pro 25AX is capable of reproducing transient audio peaks and excessively high levels at close proximity without noise and distortion. The microphone delivers a warm low-frequency response with excellent presence. The hyper-cardioid pattern is most effective in minimizing noise and audio at the off-axis sections of the capsule. The pattern is effective in minimizing "leaks" from adjacent signal sources or feedback caused by nearby monitors or speakers. The Pro 25AX is a viable choice for capturing kick drum, percussion, brass and other highly dynamic instruments.

      
Hyper-Cardioid Pattern
The hyper-cardioid polar pattern is most effective in rejecting off-axis noise caused by ambiance, adjacent instruments and monitors.

High SPL Capability
The high Sound Pressure Level capability enables the Pro 25AX to accurately reproduce transient peaks without noise and distortion.

Warm Frequency Response
The Pro 25AX features a warm frequency response with excellent presence.
