Apex

Equally at home in studio or onstage, the model 530 is a premier, high performance, side-address, medium diaphragm condenser microphone. Using design elements patterned after microphones costing far more, the Apex530 delivers performance and tone rivaling any cardioid, side address condenser mic in this class. The cardioid polar pattern and internal -10dB (@ 100Hz) low frequency roll-off switch make it the ideal condenser microphone for solo vocal or instrument recordings where subtlety and clarity is paramount.

In live sound applications, the Apex530's cardioid pattern minimizes feedback and increases isolation, ensuring it can easily be used as an overhead mic for drum kits, on guitar or bass cabinets, or anywhere superior sound quality and high sound pressure handling is required.
