MXL Genesis HE Heritage Edition Cardioid Tube Condenser Microphone

MXL Genesis HE Heritage Edition Cardioid Tube Condenser Microphone

The award winning MXL Genesis Heritage Edition is a masterfully engineered tube microphone that cuts beautifully through any mix with spectacular detail and warmth. By combining a large 32mm gold sputtered diaphragm with state of the art tube circuity the Genesis captures all the richness of critical vocal and instrument recordings. The lush vintage tone allows the vocals to sit perfectly above other tracks, with little or no EQ needed, in part due to the premium Mullard 12AT7 tube. Beautifully matched silver and gold accessories include an aluminum flight case, metal pop filter, heavy duty shock mount, Mogami tube and XLR mic cables and microfiber cleaning cloth. This stunning custom package sets the "Gold Standard" for recording mics from MXL.
