MXL CR89 Large Diaphragm Low Noise Condenser Studio Microphone
The MXL CR89 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone wrapped in sharply contrasted black and chrome. The sound is every bit as bold as the body; the CR89 can handle subtle acoustic guitar tones and loud vocals with the same sonic integrity.
The CR89 has low noise circuitry and a very low proximity effect. At home on instruments and vocals, the CR89’s body design minimizes body resonance while the tuned grill cavity reduces standing waves and harmonic distortion.
Key Features
- Very low proximity effect
- Ideal for acoustic guitars, strings, pianos and room sound
- Warm in character yet still faithful to the original source
- Top-quality condenser microphone for vocals and instruments
