General

MXL have given a new look to their best microphones, among which is the renowned Genesis tube microphone. The resulting MXL Genesis-HE looks very chic with its Heritage looks, and it sounds even better! Use it for professional vocal and speech recordings, piano, acoustic/electric guitar or a drum kit. However you want to use it, after having listened to the recordings you'll definitely join the hordes of enthusiastic professionals who use Genesis in their studio.

Genesis-HE: Mullard 12AT7 tube

The Genesis-HE features a real Mullard 12AT7 tube. We had to put 'real' in there, because this is an authentic UK-made Mullard, which were originally made for the RAF. It's partially responsible for the warm mids, tight low frequencies and clean trebles of this vintage-sounding studio microphone. Moreover, the Genesis cuts right through the mix and delivers a highly detailed sound. A special power adapter is included, as well as top-quality cables.
