Hypercardioid Capsule for SCX1

The Audix CPSSCXHC is a hypercardioid condenser capsule assembly built specifically for the SCX1 microphone. It replaces the original capsule to change the pickup pattern without altering the microphone body. Professional recordists and broadcast engineers use it when a tighter front focus is required.

Hypercardioid Pattern Constraints

The hypercardioid pattern narrows front pickup while introducing a rear lobe of sensitivity. Side rejection is stronger than a standard cardioid, but sounds arriving from directly behind the capsule are still captured. Placement must account for this rear sensitivity to avoid unwanted room reflections or monitor bleed.

Focused Capture and Limits

The capsule comfortably handles close-miked vocals, speech and solo instruments where isolation from adjacent sources is critical. It runs out of headroom when the sound source moves far off-axis or when a wide ensemble requires even coverage, as the narrow acceptance angle drops level and alters tone quickly beyond its sweet spot.

Questions about this item

Is this capsule the correct replacement for my SCX1 microphone?

Yes, the CPSSCXHC is engineered specifically for the SCX1 microphone and features a threaded housing that secures directly to the body of that model.

How does the hypercardioid pattern change the sound compared to the standard cardioid capsule?

The hypercardioid pattern focuses pickup more tightly on the front source and reduces sensitivity at the sides, which helps isolate the intended sound in loud or reflective rooms.

What connector or mounting standard does the threaded housing use?

The capsule assembly uses a precision-threaded housing designed to mate securely with the SCX1 microphone body, ensuring a stable electrical and mechanical connection.
