             Audix Heats Up the Pro Market with the FireBall-V

        Responding to the market requesting a FireBall model with a  
volume control, Audix is proud to introduce the FireBall-V.    In  
keeping with the general theme of the original FireBall, the   
FireBall-V incorporates the ability for the artist to control their  
own volume during performances.    The control knob is designed as a  
wheel and it is strategically placed so that it can be easily  
adjusted  while playing.   With its sleek styling and unique  design,  
The FireBall-V features a rich, full sound with additional punch for  
live performance.

The FireBall-V achieves its road worthy construction with a precision  
cast zinc cast alloy  body and is characterized with a steel mesh  
grill ball with a deep red internal pop filter.  Each  microphone  is  
attractively laser etched with its name  and  serial number.

While the size and contour of  the FireBall-V  is designed to fit  
comfortably within the palm of the hand,  there is a full-sized  
dynamic capsule within for accurate full spectrum sound  
reproduction.     Featuring  VLM  (Very Low Mass)  capsule technology  
developed by Audix during the early 1990’s,  the FireBall V is very  
clean and precise,  resistant to feedback, and  capable of handling  
sound pressure levels in excess of 140 dB without  
distortion                                                               
                                                                        
                                                           -

Even more astonishing is the ability of the FireBall-V to maintain  
its high quality sound reproduction even while the artist is cupping  
the grill ball.    While this type of cupping action is  necessary  
for style and effect, it can often cause the microphone to “boom out”  
or become muddy and distorted.    Not so with the FireBall-V; it will  
operate as if it’s in an open air environment, even under the most  
demanding conditions.Phil Garfinkel, Audix Artist Relations Director,  
says “The FireBall has been a tremendous success out of the gate for  
both  recording and live sound.    Since we introduced the FireBall,  
we have heard from many harmonica players who wanted more control of  
the microphone’s output in the live stage environment.   At Audix, we  
pride ourselves on our ability to respond to our customers’ needs in  
creative and effective ways. The FireBall-V is a glowing example of  
that ability.”The FireBall-V  is characterized with a smooth and  
uniform frequency response of 50 Hz  – 16 kHz and and a cardioid  
polar pattern,  allowing  it to focus on the particular instrument   
that is being  miked  without picking up other instruments or ambient  
noise on stage.
