About Audix AP42 VX5-A

How can you elevate your live performances With the Audix Performance Series AP42 VX5-A Wireless System, a professional-grade audio solution designed for vocalists, musicians, performers, and presenters. This high-quality system simplifies the complexities of wireless technology, offering a reliable and versatile solution for all your audio needs.

The system includes the R42 Receiver, a dual-channel device housed within a durable, rack-mountable unit. It operates with a single set of antennas and power supply, ensuring a seamless audio experience. The receiver's contemporary design and rugged construction are complemented by intuitive menus, making it an ideal choice for professionals.

Included in the package are two H60 Handheld Transmitters, featuring a slimline body that's compact, well-balanced, and comfortable to hold. These transmitters are encased in a durable metal housing and are compatible with both dynamic (OM Series) and condenser microphones (VX5). They offer a wide 64 MHz spectrum and feature AF and RF gain control, modular and interchangeable capsule assemblies, and a high-contrast LCD display with group, channel, and battery indicators. With a soft mute switch and a 10-hour run time on AA batteries, these transmitters are designed for extended use.

The set also includes two VX5 Condenser Vocal Microphones, professional-grade mics designed for a broad range of live, studio, and broadcast applications. These microphones reproduce studio-quality sound on stage, thanks to their smooth and accurate frequency response, resistance to feedback, and ability to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion. The VX5 microphones feature a tight, uniformly controlled supercardioid polar pattern that helps isolate vocals from other instruments on stage. With a wide frequency range of 40 Hz - 16.5 kHz, these mics deliver a clean, natural sound with exceptional transient response. They require 9 - 52 volts phantom power and are equipped with switches for -10 dB pad and bass roll-off.

The VX5 microphones are not only suited for vocals but are also ideal for capturing acoustic instruments like guitars, woodwinds, brass, percussion toys, drum overheads, hi-hats, and pianos. They are versatile tools for home studio recording, designed with high standards and tight tolerances. Each microphone is manufactured with a precision die-cast zinc alloy body, a durable black E-coat finish, and a gold-plated XLR connector, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

In summary, the Audix Performance Series AP42 VX5-A Wireless System is a durable, high-quality, and professional solution for all your live performance needs. It's not just a product; it's a promise of superior sound quality and reliability.
