A "Workhorse" Microphone in the Spirit of Apex Electronics
The Apex Electronics 320 continues the tradition of cardioid dynamic microphones designed for the field: easy to set up, robust, and capable of delivering usable recordings without spending hours fixing issues. Positioned in a range focused on performance and efficiency/reliability ratio, it is a straightforward choice for those seeking a work microphone equally comfortable on vocals or instruments. Its philosophy is clear: provide a clear and focused capture, with good off-axis sound rejection to facilitate mixing and limit bleed in real-world conditions.
Who It's For and What It's For: Stage, Rehearsal, and Home Studio
If you record at home, the 320 is an excellent entry point for solid vocal takes, with cardioid directivity that helps isolate the source and keep a clean signal in an untreated room. In rehearsal or on stage, it becomes an ally to achieve useful levels before feedback and maintain stable intelligibility, even in noisy environments. It is also very well suited for high-impact instruments: guitar amps, toms, snare drums, percussion, brass, or "projected" vocals.
Thanks to its sensitivity of -72 dB, you can connect it to a mixing console, audio interface, or standard mic preamp. Like all dynamic microphones, it appreciates a clean preamp with enough gain if capturing a soft or distant voice, while it performs effortlessly on strong sources. Its frequency response of 50 Hz to 15 kHz aims for a usable and musical sound, with useful lows and sufficiently present highs to define attack and diction.

What type of connector is used and which accessories are included?
The XLR output allows connection to a mixer, audio interface, or mic preamp. A 6.5 m XLR/XLR cable and a mic clip are included.
What is the frequency response of the microphone?
The specified frequency response ranges from 50 Hz to 15 kHz, featuring useful low end and presence aimed at defining attack and clarity.
What is the function of the High/Low impedance switch?
The High/Low selector allows adjustment of the impedance according to the audio chain used. It can adapt the microphone's response to a mixer, interface, preamp, or cable length. The specified sensitivity is -72 dB.
