Tuned specifically for natural vocal reproduction, the PDX520 helps to prevent listening fatigue.2-Way Switch for HPF and Presence Boost The microphone also features two, 2-position switches that enable users to quickly modify sound by adjusting the low cut and presence boost, minimizing the postproduction work. The low-cut filter has a cutoff frequency of 80 Hz with a 6 dB per octave slope. The presence boost switch offers a gentle boost between 1 and 5 kHz to sweeten the upper midrange.Robust Build Quality With a solid metal body, the PDX520 is built to last. The unique design takes inspiration from the AUDIX PDX720, featuring an internal vibration dampening system for the capsule. The mic also sports an integrated attachment arm for both microphone stand and XLR connector. Crucially, this mic is designed and crafted in the USA.
