The MXL R77 Ribbon Microphone is a classic
ribbon microphone that delivers unbelievably natural sound and stunning
realism to vocal and instrument recordings.
The MXL R77 Ribbon Microphone is a stunning ribbon microphone in a
custom gold and chrome finish that delivers natural sound and realism to
both vocal and instrument recordings. Ribbon microphones are known for
their rich, warm sound and have been used to capture some of the most
legendary recordings in history.
The 1.8 micron aluminum ribbon and figure-8 pickup pattern extend the
"sweet spot" with a wider pickup pattern. The MXL R77 Ribbon Microphone
has more extended upper-range sensitivity than other ribbon mics making
it a terrific choice when additional clarity is needed. If you've never
experienced using a ribbon microphone, the MXL R77 is certain to expand
your horizons.
The MXL R77 Ribbon microphone uses an aluminum ribbon transducer
which by nature is a bidirectional (figure-8) pickup pattern. A figure-8
pattern will pick up sounds from the front and back sides of the
microphone with equal sensitivity while maintaining a large amount of
rejection 90° off access. The front of the MXL R77 Microphone is
indicated by the MXL logo where the audio signal is in-phase while the
back side has an inverted phase. Ribbon mics typically have a lower
output than condenser microphones and may require a preamplifier with a
lot of gain. It is highly recommended to use a preamp with low noise,
high gain, and an input impedance of 1500 ohms or greater.
