With a uniformly controlled hypercardioid polar pattern, the ADX12HC helps isolate the speaker from ambient noise. The ADX12HC is available in a hypercardioid polar pattern for tighter pick-up control. The ADX12HC is designed with an integrated preamp circuitry built into the base of the XLR. They can be mounted permanently via the supplied flange mount or with an optional base with an internal shock mount (see model ATS10, ATS1, ATS1L). The MIC may also be used on a standard MIC stand using the DCLIP snap to fit MIC holder.

The ADX12HC operates on phantom power of 18 to 52V.
