MXL's new flagship microphone, Genesis exhibits the clarity and warmth typically associated with tube mics. Designed primarily for vocals, this large-diaphragm cardioid condenser features a 1.2-inch diameter capsule with a 6-micron, gold-sputtered diaphragm and a hand-selected Mullard 12AT7 tube — known for its clean, rich tone and a silky high- end.
The mic has a -10dB pad; a 100Hz, 6dB/octave roll-off switch; and operates with 48-volt phantom power. Genesis will be supplied with a power supply, heavy-duty shockmount, and Mogami mic and tube cables housed in a high-quality flight case.
