AVLEX INTRODUCES SUPERLUX S125
TRUE CONDENSER MICROPHONE
Studio grade performance designed for live sound applications
Kansas City, MO – November 2008 … Avlex Corporation, the
name audio professionals turn to for world-class wireless technology
and microphones, proudly introduces the new Superlux S125 True Condenser
microphone. Featuring a pressure gradient, 0.5-inch shock mounted condenser
capsule, high SPL characteristics, a -10 dB pad, a low-cut switch, and
conductive shielding to minimize RF (radio frequency) and handling noise,
the new Superlux S125 delivers studio caliber qualities in a robust
form factor designed for live performance.
The new Superlux S125 is a half-inch diaphragm cardioid condenser mic
with a triple pop filter. Since the microphone’s multistage pop
filter does not use any foam components, it will maintain its high performance
characteristics for years. Similarly, the pressure gradient capsule
is shock mounted for low handling noise, and both the microphone’s
case and grille are conductive to resist RF interference from cell phones
and other sources. With a wide, flat frequency response that extends
from 20 Hz – 20 kHz, this versatile microphone is ideal for a
wide range of live sound applications—including vocal and instrumental
miking.
To accommodate a wide range of sound sources, the Superlux S125 has
a switchable -10 dB attenuator and a switchable 150 Hz low cut filter.
Both switches are under a rubber cover to protect them from moisture
and being accidentally changed. The -10 dB pad enables the S125 to gracefully
handle high SPLs—making it a great choice for miking guitar cabinets.
Further, the 150 Hz low cut filter is an excellent tool for eliminating
low frequency rumble caused by wind that can frequently occur during
outdoor performances. The S125’s maximum level is 148 dB SPL and
the noise floor is only 18 dB SPL A-weighted. Together, this translates
to an amazing 130 dB dynamic range and enables this exceptional microphone
to deliver outstanding results on strings, wind instruments, and percussion.
Another noteworthy feature of the new Superlux S125 True Condenser
microphone is its gold plated connectors between the microphone’s
capsule and electronics that are designed to provide stable performance.
Additionally, the microphone’s sturdy zinc alloy, die-cast casing
and steel-strengthened grill/windscreen is designed to withstand the
rigors of live performance while helping to ensure low handling noise.
For the live performer in search of a studio-grade microphone capable
of capturing all the musical nuances typically found in far more expensive
microphones, the Superlux S125 represents tremendous value. The new
S125 ships with a microphone clip and a storage pouch.
Jack Nead, national sales manager for Avlex Corporation, commented
on the new Superlux S125 True Condenser microphone. “As a true
cardioid condenser microphone,” said Nead, “the S125 is
designed to provide the detail, warmth, and musicality associated with
recording studio microphones, yet it is built to handle the rough and
tumble environment typical of today’s performing musician. The
S125 is equally well suited for both vocals and a wide range of instrumental
miking tasks. With essential features such as the -10 dB pad and the
150 Hz low cut filter that enable this microphone to deliver impressive
results under a wide range of miking applications, I believe performers
will find the S125 to be tremendously versatile.”
The new Superlux S125 True Condenser microphone carries an MSRP of
$133.00. It is available now.
