SPECIFICATIONS:
ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS SPECIFICATIONS:
The microphone shall be a back plate pre-polarized condenser with a cardioid polar 
pattern. The microphone shall operate on 12-48  Volts phantom power and the nominal 
output impedance shall be equal to 200 ohms at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a 
sensitivity of 8 mV / Pa at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a maximum SPL level of 137 
dB with a THD of 0.5%. The microphone shall be cast from zinc alloy with dimensions 
of 19 mm in diameter at the base, 20 mm in diameter at the widest point and 111 mm in 
length. The microphone shall be the Audix f9.
OPERATION: 
The f9 will NOT operate without phantom power voltage (12-48 Volts) which is available 
on most professional mic preamps and mixing devices. If phantom power is not available 
on your equipment, you will have to purchase a phantom power supply (such as the 
Audix APS2). Avoid plugging or unplugging the microphone from a PA system unless the 
channel is muted or the volume of the system is turned down. Failure to do so may result 
in a loud “popping” noise which could seriously damage the speakers in the PA system.
USER TIPS:
The f9, an excellent choice to mic any kind of acoustic instrument, has a cardioid pick-up 
pattern which helps to eliminate sound from other instruments on stage from “bleeding” 
into the microphone. However, the f9 is much more sensitive than a dynamic and will 
pick-up sound from a greater distance. The acoustic nature of the instrument being 
miked along with how loud it is will determine how far the microphone should be from 
the sound source. For example, the f9 can be placed 1-2 feet above the cymbals of a 
drum kit and still pick up plenty of sound, whereas for a acoustic guitar, the mic will need 
to be placed within 8-12 inches to be effective.    
Allow a distance of 2-3 feet between microphones to avoid phase issues.
