About Apex Apex591

Enhance your recording and live sound capabilities with the Apex591 Multi-Purpose Cardioid Condenser Studio Microphone, a superior choice for audio professionals seeking precision and clarity. This high-sensitivity, wide-range microphone is meticulously designed to deliver unidirectional pickup, focusing on your sound source with exceptional detail while minimizing unwanted ambient noise and feedback.

The Apex591 stands out as an indispensable tool for capturing pristine audio in a variety of settings, from studio recording sessions to dynamic live performances. Its tight cardioid pattern is engineered to isolate your instrument or voice, ensuring that every nuance is recorded with high fidelity.

Constructed to meet the demands of both studio and field recording, the durable Apex591 is versatile, operating seamlessly with phantom power supplied by a console or preamp. For situations where phantom power is unavailable, the microphone is equipped with an internal 9-volt battery compartment, providing uninterrupted performance.

The microphone's design includes thoughtfully integrated Pad & Roll-Off Switches. The three-position pad switch (0, -10dB, -20dB) is cleverly recessed within the battery compartment to prevent accidental adjustments during handling. This feature allows you to tailor the input level when recording high sound pressure sources, such as brass, woodwind instruments, or when close-miking drums and percussion.

Additionally, the accessible low-frequency roll-off switch, which also functions as the power switch, empowers you to eliminate low-end rumble directly at the source. This results in cleaner recordings with enhanced presence and definition, allowing your tracks to stand out with professional quality.

The Apex591 is particularly effective when deployed on drum kits, capturing the intricate details of percussion and hi-hats, or when used as an overhead microphone. Its performance is equally impressive with acoustic guitars, stringed instruments, acoustic pianos, and a range of brass and woodwind instruments, making it a versatile addition to any audio toolkit.

In summary, the Apex591 Multi-Purpose Cardioid Condenser Studio Microphone with Pad and Roll-Off Switch is a robust, high-performance microphone designed to deliver exceptional audio quality in a wide array of recording and live sound situations. Whether you're a studio engineer, live sound technician, or a musician, the Apex591 is engineered to elevate your audio capture to professional heights.
