Audix ADX 20 i-p Review
The Audix ADX 20 i-p is an exceptional microphone that has proven to be a fantastic choice for brass instruments, particularly in live settings. I’ve used it with saxophones, trumpets, and trombones, and the sound capture is impressively clear and balanced across the frequency spectrum. The linear response ensures that all nuances of the instruments are accurately transmitted, making it an excellent alternative to more expensive models like the Sennheiser E 908 B.
One of the standout features is the build quality. The microphone feels robust, and the cable holders, although simple, perform reliably. The rubber suspension effectively reduces key noise, which is crucial for clip-on mics, and it works even better than some of the higher-end options I’ve tested. The mic is versatile enough to be used for both live performances and recording, provided one is not seeking the absolute best in studio quality.
While the price is on the higher side compared to some entry-level models, it remains a cost-effective choice when considering the quality it delivers. The goose neck and clip are sturdy, but it’s worth noting that the clip isn’t removable, which could limit flexibility for some users. Additionally, the positioning can be a bit tricky, especially when accommodating various body sizes or instrument types.
Feedback issues can arise at high volumes, which is common across many microphones, but the ADX 20 i-p handles this relatively well. It’s also adaptable for use with other instruments like double bass and cello, albeit with a bit of improvisation for optimal placement.
Overall, if you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality microphone that excels in live settings for brass instruments, the Audix ADX 20 i-p is a highly recommended choice. It delivers great sound at a reasonable price, making it a solid investment for both amateur and professional musicians alike.
