Audix F9 All-purpose Pencil Condenser Microphone

All-purpose Pencil Condenser Microphone
This f9 all-purpose pencil condenser microphone is suited for instruments requiring detailed reproduction in mid-high and extended high-end frequency ranges in live and studio applications. A wide cardioid pick-up pattern paired with high sensitivity allows close, overhead, and distance miking. 

With its low impedance and balanced output, the f9 instrument condenser microphone has an interference-free performance. This microphone operates on phantom power of 12-48 V.

The f9, an excellent choice to mic any kind of acoustic instrument, has a cardioid pick-up pattern which helps to eliminate sound from other instruments on stage from “bleeding” into the microphone. However, the f9 is much more sensitive than a dynamic and will pick up sound from a greater distance.

The acoustic nature of the instrument being miked along with how loud it is will determine how far the microphone should be from the sound source. For example, the f9 can be placed 1-2 feet above the cymbals of a drum kit and still pick up plenty of sounds, whereas, for an acoustic guitar, the mic will need to be placed within 8-12 inches to be effective. Allow a distance of 2-3 feet between microphones to avoid phase issues.
