The Audix MicroBoom MB5050 pairs a stand-mounted 50" MicroBoom arm with Audix's high-quality M1250 mini cardioid condenser mic. This unit makes a low-profile solution for overhead stage miking of orchestras and choirs, ambient miking, drum miking, and more. The boom in the MicroBoom MB5050 package can be used in either a horizontal or a vertical orientation. The upper end of the boom arm features a mini-XLR connector to securely hold the mic in place. The M1250 has a built-in low noise preamplifier, so no bulky external power supply is needed. If you want a clean, professional, and elegant miking solution, you'll find it in the Audix MicroBoom MB5050 from Retrostar Music.
