Science and art often merge resulting in unique designs spanning a diverse range of applications. Not least of all is the world of sound reproduction. Enter Marshall Electronics.
When Microphone enthusiast, Leonard Marshall started MXL in the 90s, he had a simple mission – to create high-quality, state-of-the-art studio microphones which are both affordable and easy to use.
Marshall has remained true to his mission and today, MXL is one of the world’s leading microphone maufacturers. By blending the science of sound with masterful design, MXL offer both stunning sound reproduction and classic styling that are accessible to a diverse worldwide creative community.
Independently owned and operated, MXL’s commitment to excellence in quality and design is always at the forefront. All MXL mics are designed, engineered and tested at their headquarters in Torrance, California.
This is the MXL 550/551R STUDIO Recording Microphone Kit comprising a pair of studio-quality condenser mics complete with carry case.
The red 550/551 Microphone Ensemble from MXL features two professional-quality microphones suitable for recording vocals and instruments. The 550 large-diaphragm mic is a robust vocal condenser mic and the 551 small-diaphragm mic can be used with a variety of instruments.
Both microphones feature a pressure gradient condenser capsule with a cardioid pickup pattern for off-axis noise rejection. The microphones also utilise premium Mogami wiring for high-quality connections and a high SPL capability, allowing the mics to record loud sources without distortion.
Each mic works through 48V of phantom power and feature a wide frequency range.
An incredible recording kit, MXL have paired the MXL 550 and MXL 551 microphones for a ensemble that is simply perfect for musicians looking for high quality at an affordable price.
