MXL V87 Low-Noise Condenser Microphone

Full Description

Crystal clear audio

Designed for accuracy and clarity, the V87 is a premium-quality condenser with a full-range frequency response with a slight bias towards the high frequencies, letting you capture your sound in immaculate detail. This lends itself to working flawlessly with instruments such as lead vocals, pianos to capture the upper register smoothly and evenly and acoustic guitar to capture the string definition of every note within a chord. Not just limited to these sources, the MXL V87 is flattering to any source and extends to low-end frequencies just as well with thanks to the clever large-diaphragm design. With the V87, you will see a reduction in the proximity effect when recording direct on instruments such as bass and electric guitar cabinets, whereby you can put the microphone closer and reduce the plosives and unruly low-end as a result of proximity. Truly an engineers dream, the V87 will quickly become a staple in your collection.
