Apex 141 podium microphone

The Apex 141 is a hypercardioid shotgun condenser microphone mounted on an ultra low-profile gooseneck for podium use. Its compact design allows flexible positioning while maintaining a discreet appearance in professional settings. The uniform hypercardioid polar pattern maximises off-axis rejection to focus on the speaker. An integrated user-switchable low-cut filter reduces low-frequency ambient noise and rumble.

Suited for fixed installations

This microphone suits conference rooms, lecture halls, houses of worship and broadcast booths where a permanent podium mount is required. The 3-pin XLR-M connector integrates with professional audio systems that provide the necessary phantom power. Users needing a handheld, wireless or USB microphone should consider other form factors. Builders requiring multiple pickup patterns or on-body controls will not find them here.

Hypercardioid polar pattern

The hypercardioid polar pattern is the defining specification; it narrows the pickup angle and increases side rejection compared with a standard cardioid. This makes the Apex 141 effective for isolating a single voice in reverberant or noisy spaces. If the application demands wider coverage or ambient capture, a different polar pattern would be appropriate.

Questions about this item

What type of input does my mixer or audio interface need for the Apex 141's XLR-M connector?

Your equipment must provide a standard 3-pin XLR female input to accept the microphone's built-in XLR-M plug.

Will the Apex 141's hypercardioid pattern still reject background noise if I keep my older dynamic podium mic on the same stand?

Yes, the uniform hypercardioid polar pattern maximises off-axis rejection regardless of other microphones nearby, so the Apex 141 will continue to minimise unwanted sound from the sides and rear.

How can I confirm the low-cut filter is active after I mount the Apex 141?

Flip the integrated user-switchable low-cut filter to the engaged position; you should hear reduced low-frequency rumble and ambient noise in your headphones or recording meters.
