Shock Mount

The MXL shock mount can shift in shipment. Simply shift the nylon bands
to center the microphone in the assembly. Be sure that the wire clamp
does not rest on the chassis of the mount, as this impairs mechanical
isolation. Slide the mount all the way to the rim of the microphone for the
most secure hold.

General Characteristics

This microphone has a one-inch gold sputtered diaphragm and a fairly
wide fixed cardioid pickup pattern. Large capsule condensers 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) damaging surprises!

Microphone Cable

The microphone cable can have a profound effect on the sound of
any microphone. Even the finest microphone will sound poor if the
interconnect cable allows noise to enter or causes distortion and loss of
information. We recommend that you use the best microphone cable that
your budget will allow.

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. Store the microphone in its original packaging, or the
included zipper pouch.

MXL microphones are guaranteed against defects in materials and
workmanship for one year from the date of purchase. If you encounter
any problem with this unit, promptly contact the company from which

us without prior authorization from our service department. Warranty
coverage is limited to repair or replacement (at our option) of the
microphone, and does not cover incidental damages due to use of this
unit, nor damage caused by accidental misuse of this product.
