AUDIX Celebrates 40 Years

AUDIX proudly celebrates its 40th anniversary as a premier manufacturer of the highest quality microphones. Since its humble beginnings in 1984, AUDIX has grown to offer a wide range of microphones for audio recording, live performance, and installed sound applications. Today, product families for instruments, vocals, and studio recording enjoy a reputation for audio fidelity and build quality that rivals microphones costing many times more.
To mark its history and continued innovation, the company has produced a Limited Edition of the iconic D6 kick drum microphone. The Limited Edition D6X microphone has all the sonic attributes that makes D6 a classic, plus additional filtering options for unsurpassed flexibility. Only 100 units of the bead blasted D6X Limited Edition will be produced and will be available through selected giveaways throughout the next months.
In 1986, the AUDIX OM1 handheld dynamic mic was born. The OM1 began to amass a word-of-mouth reputation for sounding better than the ubiquitous industry standard and offered interchangeable grilles — ball-shaped for vocals and cap-shaped for instruments — so one model could then take the place of the competition’s two.
In 1991, AUDIX relocated from the San Francisco Bay area to Wilsonville, Oregon, where R&D and manufacturing still takes place. The 78,000-square-foot facility includes a recording studio and live soundstage for testing mics under real-world conditions, as well as bespoke tooling that allows AUDIX to adhere to tight engineering tolerances and deliver premium quality.
For the anniversary, AUDIX is producing a premium edition of the D6 in a beautiful, bead blasted finish. This special edition not only looks stunning but also offers enhanced and innovative functionality. Limited to a run of 100 mics, it features three selectable frequency responses: the original kick-drum curve plus two flatter options for even greater versatility. Watch AUDIX’s website and social media for details on how to win this collectible piece of microphone history, available from November.
“We are overjoyed to celebrate 40 years of excellence at AUDIX,” says Bjørn Rennemo-Henriksen, Senior Director at AUDIX. “AUDIX always passionately challenges norms and works tirelessly to exceed both expectations. Product launches coming soon in 2025 are a phenomenal testament to this commitment; we look forward to introducing the amazing results of our team’s hard work and innovations to the community. We express our sincerest thanks to the musicians, engineers, and audio enthusiasts who have made AUDIX who we are today.”
