Due to its clever design elements, the Audix A131 large-diaphragm condenser microphone lets you clearly capture varied sources such as vocals and acoustic instruments without relying on an external shockmount and pop filter to control extraneous noises. Its internal shockmount handles the task of reducing vibrations while the grille and underlying foam provide resistance to pops or plosives.

The electret condenser capsule features a 1.1" gold-sputtered diaphragm and a cardioid polar pattern, yielding versatile and full-range frequency reproduction along with off-axis sound rejection that helps to lessen the pickup of room ambience and stage bleed. With a precision-machined aluminum body, this mic is built to survive the rigors of daily session use or life on tour.

The A131 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone ideal for vocals, choir, piano, acoustic instruments, and overheads. Featuring a contemporary, compact design, the A131 is an ideal choice for podcasting, professional audio production, studios, and live stage performances.

Housed in a precision-machined aluminum body, the 33mm fixed-charge capsule features a gold-sputtered diaphragm for wide, natural frequency response. With its well-behaved cardioid polar pattern, the A131 faithfully captures the detail of the performance while rejecting room noises and other unwanted, off-axis sounds.

A double woven steel mesh grille and ultra-thin acoustic foam offer exceptional pop resistance for podcasting and vocals. Behind the grille, the open-air design of the capsule mounting system allows the A131 to deliver transparent, uncolored sound.

Proprietary impedance control between the capsule and circuitry ensures consistent and reliable performance across a wide range of environments.

A unique and highly effective internal shockmount isolates the capsule from mechanical vibrations and touch noise, eliminating the need for a bulky external shockmount.

Offering studio performance in a road-worthy package, the A131 also comes with a protective zippered carrying case.

The A131 features a balanced XLR 3-pin output and requires 48 to 52 VDC phantom power. For best results, the A131 should be used with a high-quality mic preamplifier and microphone cable.

The A131 was designed, machined, assembled, and tested in the USA.

Q: 1. Hello, would this fit on a Neumann 89i respectively over a Neumann WS89?

A: This windscreen is designed to fit over the Rycote 45/100, which is a foam shield for 2.17" diameter mics. Since the Neumann U89i is 1.8" in diameter, this windscreen will be too large for the WS89.

Q: 2. Hello, would this fit to a Neumann 89i respectively over the Neumann WS89? Alternatively do Rycote 45/100 Foam and Neumann WS89 have the same dimensions?

A: Yes, the Rycote Windjammer for 45/100 Foam for Large Diaphragm Condenser should, in theory, fit over the Neumann WS89 Foam Windscreen for U89. The Rycote 45/100 and Neumann WS89 appear quite similar in size.

Q: 3. will this fit a blue yeti?

A: No, the SHM-SCM1 is not compatible for use with the Blue Yeti. You will want to use the Blue Radius III Shockmount for Yeti and Yeti Pro USB Microphones (B&H # BLRADIUS3).

Q: 4. Will this fit the AT 2020?

A: The Auray SHM-SCM1 is compatible with the AT2020 microphone.

Q: 5. What is the Signal to Noise Ratio?

A: The RODE NT1 Signature Series Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone's SNR is 90 dB A-Weighted.

Q: 6. What color is the finish? It looks like "rose gold" in the photos. I don't like "rose gold " for use on stage.

A: The color of the CAD A77 Supercardioid Large Diaphragm Dynamic Microphone, which is discontinued, could be best described as "bronze."

Q: 7. Will this fit the Neumann U87 and TML103?

A: This mount should fit the U87 and the TLM 103.

Q: 8. Will this fit well on a Samson G-Track Pro USB Microphone?

A: This will be too small to fit the G-Track Pro
