The Audix MG12, MG15, and MG18 are professional miniature gooseneck condenser microphones designed for clear, natural speech reproduction in podiums, pulpits, conference rooms, courtrooms, and presentation systems. Available in three gooseneck lengths, these microphones provide flexible positioning while maintaining a discreet, professional appearance.
Each model features a controlled cardioid polar pattern that focuses on the speaker's voice while reducing unwanted sound pickup from the surrounding room. With a frequency response of 60 Hz–19 kHz, the Audix MG Series delivers detailed vocal reproduction for public speaking, meetings, and installed sound applications.
The MG12, MG15, and MG18 incorporate Audix's dual preamplifier circuitry, with one circuit in the microphone capsule housing and another in the XLR base. This internally balanced design helps minimize hum, noise, and RF interference from nearby electronic and wireless devices.
Featuring modular, field-replaceable capsules, durable construction, and 18–52V phantom power operation, the Audix MG Series is well suited for permanent installations and professional presentation systems.
Choose your preferred model using the size selection above: MG12, MG15, or MG18.

Clear Speech for Podiums, Pulpits and Conference Rooms
The Audix MG Series is engineered for applications where speech intelligibility and consistent microphone performance are essential.
Its cardioid pickup pattern helps isolate the speaker's voice from surrounding noise, making it useful in reverberant meeting rooms, houses of worship, and other public speaking environments.
The microphone's flexible gooseneck allows users to position the capsule at a comfortable speaking distance without obstructing the view of the presenter.
Whether installed in a church pulpit, conference table, courtroom, or lecture podium, the MG Series provides a professional microphone solution for spoken-word applications.
Dual Preamplifier Design and RF Protection
Each Audix MG microphone uses dual preamplifier circuitry designed to maintain a clean, balanced audio signal.
One circuit is located in the capsule housing, while the second is integrated into the microphone's XLR base.
This design helps minimize hum and noise while providing protection against radio-frequency interference from nearby electronic devices.
The result is reliable microphone performance in environments containing wireless systems, computers, and other electronic equipment.
