Does the Audix A131 need phantom power?

Yes. It is a condenser microphone and requires 48 V phantom power from an audio interface or preamp.

What is included with the A131?

The microphone comes with a protective pouch and a microphone clip. An external shock mount is not needed because the capsule is internally isolated.

How does the A131 compare with the Audix A127?

Both are large-diaphragm cardioid condensers, but the A131 has a larger 33 mm capsule and an internal shock mount. The A127 uses a smaller capsule and a different body design.

Is the A131 good for podcasting and voice-over?

Yes. Its cardioid pattern and pop-resistant grille suit close speech, and the internal shock mount reduces handling noise on a desk stand.

Can the A131 handle loud sources like drum overheads?

It is designed for overheads and acoustic instruments, but it has no pad switch. For very loud close-miked sources, check the maximum SPL and use a preamp with padding if needed.
