The MXL Revelation is an extraordinary studio microphone that delivers the warmth and intimacy of a quality tube microphone with extended clarity and punch for balanced recording. A dual gold-sputtered, 6-micron diaphragm and hand-selected EF86 pentode tube deliver warm, rich and transparent sound, and polar pattern selection is virtually limitless thanks to the variable knob. Record vocals, instruments, percussion or use it as a room mic - the MXL Revelation can handle any recording task.
