A Speech Microphone Designed for Fixed and Mobile Installations
The Apex Electronics 146 belongs to the family of "gooseneck" microphones designed for environments where voice clarity, ease of use, and control over handling are paramount. Its design with a control base and integrated settings meets the needs of installations (conference rooms, places of worship, public institutions, amphitheaters) while remaining practical for events requiring quick setup, operation, and teardown.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
This microphone is primarily intended for speech -oriented users: speakers, lecturers, hosts, podiums, reception, announcements, and institutional speaking engagements. Thanks to its cardioid directivity, it favors voice capture on-axis, which helps improve intelligibility in reverberant rooms or when multiple sound sources are present (monitors, audience, playback).
Its length of 483 mm facilitates positioning: the capsule can be placed close to the mouth while maintaining a natural posture. This is a major advantage for achieving a good level without excessively increasing gain, which helps reduce feedback risk and maintain consistent tonal quality from one speaker to another.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Apex Apex 146 microphone require phantom power?
The connector is XLR and requires phantom power to operate.
What polar pattern is suitable for conferences and lecterns?
The static cardioid capsule favors voice placed on the microphone axis. This polar pattern helps reduce sound pickup from the sides and rear. It is suitable for lecterns, conference rooms, and microphone announcements.
Is the Apex 146 gooseneck long enough for a lectern?
With a length of 483 mm, the gooseneck allows placing the capsule close to the mouth while maintaining a natural posture.
How do the Mute, Talk, and Lock controls work?
The connector includes a Mute/Talk/Lock selector to mute, activate, or lock the microphone behavior. An On/Off switch and an indicator LED complete the speaking control.
Does the microphone have a low-cut filter?
A low-cut switch is integrated to reduce table vibrations and unwanted low-frequency noise. The specified frequency response ranges from 100 Hz to 12 kHz.
