MXL Genesis
Attention to Detail
The MXL Genesis is a reasonably priced, unique, flagship tube microphone. Its design picks up detail accurately and provides clean highs, warm mids, and tight bottom-end audio. As the 2008 winner of Pro Audio Review's Excellence Award, the Genesis is a good fit for those looking for a vintage sound with modern crispness.
Note: As a special gift for this drop, after 10 units have sold we can offer a free MXL R144 Microphone with every unit purchased.
Vintage Construction
The MXL Genesis is a vocal mic with a vintage aesthetic. The Mullard 12AT7 tube with time-tested tonality is perfect for on-point vocals that need to stand out against background tracks. It’s been manufactured with a 150Hz, 6 dB/octave roll-off switch and -10dB pad. The microphone comes complete with a Mogami cable and wiring, and is highly compatible with other sound recording equipment.
