The MICROS are the latest innovation from Audix. Consisting of 2 models, M1245 and M1290, the MICROS are the smallest condenser microphones in the world with an integrated preamp and detachable cable.
The M1245 is less than 2 inches long and weighs a mere .6 oz while the M1290 is 3.5 inches in length (90 mm) and weighs in at 1 oz. Characterized with precision machined brass body and black E-coat finish, every model is attractively laser etched with it's model and serial number. Individual models include a variety of polar patterns to choose from including caridoid, hypercardioid, omni-directional and shotgun capsules.

VP of Sales and Marketing, Cliff Castle, states: "The MICROS are clearly a departure from everything else on the market. Other miniature microphones this size require external power supplies that are bulky, cumbersome, and require extra cabling.
"Not only do the MICROS eliminate the additional power supply, but the preamplifier used in the MICROS is very special. The circuitry is the same typology used in our popular SCX series. The MICROS are studio quality mics with very low noise, wide dynamic range, and high quality performance." Castle sums it up, "The sound is absolutely astounding! Just think of possibilities for live sound, location recording, and installations."
