Audix A127 Microphone

The A127 uses a specialized 0.5-inch metal film capsule designed for measurement-grade accuracy. Unlike many microphones that color the sound, this model provides a ruler-flat frequency response, making it ideal for capturing instruments exactly as they sound in the room.

Yes. It handles up to 140 dB SPL, meaning it can capture high-volume sources without distortion. Its fast transient response also ensures that sharp attacks from drums or percussion are captured with precision.

With a self-noise of just 7dBA, this microphone is exceptionally quiet. It is perfect for recording delicate acoustic sources, such as soft fingerstyle guitar or ambient room tones, where you need to avoid background hiss.

Active driven shielding helps protect the signal from external electrical interference. This ensures a cleaner recording, especially in environments where there might be nearby electronic equipment or long cable runs.

Yes, as a condenser microphone, the A127 requires 48V phantom power from your audio interface or preamp to operate its internal circuitry.

Yes. Because it complies with IEC 61094-4 and ANSI Type 1 requirements, the A127 is built to the standards required for acoustic measurement and analysis, in addition to its primary use as a high-fidelity recording tool.
