Narrow Cardiooid Polar Pattern

The MXL Genesis Tube Condenser Microphone is a professional tube microphone with a narrow cardiooid polar pattern for enhanced pickup in front of the mic, paired with a high sensetivity and extremely flat response. This makes the MXL Genesis Tube Mic ideal for recording a range of voice styles, in addition to instruments including guitars and more.

Included Accessories

The MXL Genesis Tube Condenser Microphone boasts clean highs, whilst maintaining depth and colour in the low end, and warmth in the mids. A 150Hz, 6dB/octave low‑cut filter switch is also added on to the body of the microphone to provide reduced noise and fuzz whilst recording. To receive an even cleaner sound, the MXL Genesis Tube Mic includes a old‑plated pop screen to clip on to the mic body. Also included is an XLR cable, robust elastic cradle‑type shockmount, rigid stand‑clip, and external PSU.

Reviews

“We recorded all of the vocals on the Pink Noise album with the MXL-V69. We loved the sound we got from it. We’ve had the Genesis in the studio for a while now, and it has a much fuller sound. The bottom end goes deeper and the vocals cut through the mix even more now. The next album (which we are recording now) will feature the Genesis so much that we may have to give it a credit on the album!”
