A discreet and effective microphone in the spirit of "close miking"
Designed for instrument capture, the Apex 565 adopts a pragmatic approach: an electret capsule in a miniature format, mounted on a flexible gooseneck that facilitates positioning. This type of design primarily aims for consistency of capture and repeatability: you quickly find a good pickup point, with stable distance and angle, which simplifies soundchecks and speeds up sessions.
In a modern setup (loaded stage, multitrack, monitors, in-ear), a compact microphone close to the source often provides a more usable signal, requiring less correction afterward. The 565 fits this logic: a discreet tool focused on performance and installation comfort, for clear takes that are easy to place in the mix.
For which uses and musicians?
The Apex 565 is aimed at instrumentalists and technicians who want a miniature instrument microphone capable of reliable capture without hindering playing or setup. The flexible gooseneck allows fine adjustment of the capsule's axis to find the right balance between attack, body, and air, depending on the instrument and context.
The cardioid directivity is particularly appreciated live when multiple sources coexist nearby (drums, amps, monitors). In the studio, it helps limit bleed and keeps a more "focused" signal, useful for editing and processing (equalization, compression) without excessively raising the ambient noise.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Apex 565 require phantom power?
Phantom power from 9 to 52 V is required to operate this microphone. It connects via XLR to a mixer, audio interface, or compatible preamp.
Is the Apex 565 microphone suitable for stage use?
Its cardioid polar pattern favors the sound source in front of the capsule and reduces pickup from the rear. This setup helps minimize feedback from monitors, amps, and nearby instruments during live performances.
What sound pressure level can this instrument microphone handle?
With a maximum SPL of 135 dB, this model handles sources with strong transients. Close placement can enhance attack and presence, provided gain settings are adjusted accordingly. The electret capsule is mounted on a gooseneck for precise orientation adjustments.
What is the frequency response of the Apex 565?
The frequency response ranges from 50 Hz to 18 kHz, covering both the instrument's body and a large portion of its harmonics.
Does the microphone’s gooseneck allow for precise placement?
The miniature electret capsule is mounted on an adjustable gooseneck. This design helps achieve a stable angle and distance for consistent placement across setups.
