MXL Genesis FET Vocal Condenser Mic

Full Description

Warm, Balanced Sound

The sound of the Genesis FET has been carefully modeled for the past 3 years by performing thousands of comparison tests with many other expensive solid state mics and vintage tube mics, in addition to MXL's own Genesis II and new Revelation Solo tube mics. The result is a solid state microphone with a warm sound reminiscent of the finest tube microphones.

Quality Performance at a Lower Price

Offering users top quality performance at a significantly lower price than comparable microphones, the Genesis FET comes complete with a shockmount, pop filter, and wooden box. The Genesis FET features an eye-catching red body with a dazzling gold grill.

Reviews

"From the full bottom end to sparkling highs, it gave me the natural sound I wanted, with next to no EQ required. With female vocals it was simply stunning. There is something about the warmth and intimacy of this microphone that I have previously only been able to capture with microphones costing much more."

- Anthony 'Rocky' Gallo, Cheif Engineer 'The Cutting Room', NYC

"The MXL Genesis is a microphone that just can?t be ignored. Not only does it sound amazing, but it looks good too. I even asked if I could have one to wear around my neck!"

- Fingazz, Producer/Engineer
