General Characteristics

The TB1 is an electret condenser gooseneck microphone. 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 ear) damage. It is
strongly advised to use the included windscreen to prevent moisture from
damaging the capsule.

If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact the company from

Power Requirement

The MXL TB1 requires 48V phantom power (± 4V). If no sound is picked up
by the microphone, make sure that the phantom power on your mixer or
separate power supply is switched on.

Note: The TB1 is designed to be plugged directly into the mixer. It does not
require the use of a cable.

Care

Dust and foreign material can reduce the performance of a microphone
over time, so you should store the MXL TB1 in its box when not in use.
