Hello all. This listing is for an MXL Genesis Tube microphone, Heritage edition. The Heritage edition is referring to the color of the mic itself, to look more like the classic mics. I've owned this mic for about 5 years and it has been great. I found this mic to be interesting as it didn't have that "lofi" high end rolloff like many tube mics can be. Sounds great on many sources and can get that top end sparkle sound for Pop/hiphop/rap vocals. It comes with everything as it did new (case, power supply, EIC power cable, show mount, the mic itself, spare bungee, 7 pin Mogami XLR cable, cleaning cloth and attachable matching pop filter. Mic is in great condition without any dents or scratches in the finish. I didn't try any other tubes in this unit and it still has the stock Mullard 12AT7 that comes stock. Pretty cool mic. I do more live events these days and less studio stuff so I'm slimming down the mic locker.
