MXL microphones are the result of world-class engineering and manufacturing capabilities. The MXL Trophy is designed to provide
General Characteristics
The MXL Trophy secures to standard American microphone stands by using the included hard-mount mic clip. This microphone has a side-tapped 34mm capsule and a xed cardioid pickup pattern. A cardioid microphone picks up sound from the front of the microphone, less sound from the sides, and has good rejection of sound to the back of the microphone. Always speak or sing into the front of the microphone while maintaining a 3 to 6-inch distance from the mic. The front of the microphone is the side where the MXL logo appears.
Condenser microphones are very sensitive, readily revealing very subtle sonic details. They also tend to pick up sounds outside the pattern more than some designs, which can lead to powerful feedback if you are not careful. We strongly advise experimentation with
placement and isolation requirements with the gain initially set low to avoid equipment (and hearing) damage!
Power Requirements
IMPORTANT: This microphone requires phantom power at 48 volts, +/- 4 volts. Each unit has been thoroughly checked before shipping, so if you do not hear sound, check that the phantom power on your preamp, mixer or separate power supply is switched on!
Microphone Cables
This microphone connects to a preamp or mixer via XLR cable. The microphone cable can have a profound eect on the sound of any microphone. Even the nest microphones will sound poor if the interconnect cable allows noise to enter or causes distortion and loss of information. Use only the best microphone cable your budget will allow. We highly recommend using Mogami® brand cable.
Care
Dust and foreign material can degrade the performance of a microphone over time so always store the unit in its case. For vocals closer than 3”, use a “popper stopper” or a foam windscreen to avoid getting moisture on the diaphragm as this can substantially degrade the microphone’s performance.
