New Gear - Audix SCX-25 mics (prepare to be blown away)
Thanks to Cliff Castle at Audix for letting us try these guys out. We definitely will be purchasing a pair!

Overview

The SCX-25 is a condenser microphone with an elegant design and a revolutionary capsule suspension system. Uniquely shock mounted within an intricate machined brass ring, the SCX-25 capsule is completely isolated from the mic body and the electronics. By successfully minimizing acoustic reflections and diffractions, SCX-25 delivers a pure, open-air sound unlike any other microphone, regardless of size or cost.
Delivering a smooth uniform cardioid frequency response from 20 - 20k, the SCX-25 will reproduce vocals and acoustic instruments with exceptional detail and realism. The SCX-25 is very consistent when responding to incoming off-axis signals, exhibiting excellent phase coherence and minimal proximity effect.
