MXL 604

Description

A condenser microphone with interchangeable omnidirectional and cardioid capsules, the MXL 604 features a -10 dB attenuation switch and a selectable low frequency roll-off capability to compensate for proximity effect or to eliminate wind noise during outdoor recording.

The MXL 604’s transformerless design provides a solid bottom and an extremely open top end sound. The microphone is internally wired with world-renowned Mogami cable for sonic integrity. This beautifully crafted microphone features a satin silver finish with etched engravings, yet its rugged design makes it a great choice for use on the road. The MXL 604 is supplied with mic clip, a windscreen, and a wood storage box.
