Intro The Audix ADX-90 is a miniature electret condenser mic with a cardioid pattern. Smartly outfitted with a "mount anywhere" clamp, this affordable mic is well suited to a number of studio applications.

How They Work! The new addition to the Audix ADX Contractor Condenser microphone line is the miniature ADX-90 electret condenser. This is a small, black anodized aluminum condenser mic (6 oz/170 grams) placed at the end of a miniature four-inch D-Flex gooseneck. It is fitted with a mount anywhere shock-mounted clamp made of chromed steel. The clamp has rubberized jaws and a thumb screw for secure attachment to anything from a drum rim to the inside of a grand piano. In addition, there is another shock mount that isolates the gooseneck from the clamp assembly, ensuring no possible mechanical connection between the mic's body and the mounting clamp.

Perfect For Drums The ADX-90's clamp cuts back the number of drum stands needed around a drum kit, which is appealing on a few levels. First of all, there are a lot less mic stand legs interfering with cymbal and tom stands on the floor; second, it makes for a better-looking drum kit. Since these mics are very low profile, they are a natural for drum kits and live stage sound.
