MXL Revelation II Variable-Pattern Tube Microphone

The MXL REVELATION II is a condenser microphone for studio applications, one that runs off of an EF86 pentode tube. It is designed to give you the warmth and intimacy that a classic tube microphone affords as well as a continuously variable polar pattern accessible from the accompanying power supply. Whether you need cardioid to close-mic a vocal, omnidirectional to capture the sound of the room, or anything in between, this mic can deliver the pattern.

The mic itself gives you a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response from its dual, gold-sputtered, 6-micron diaphragm. The mic also offers a -10 dB pad and a selectable high-pass filter at 125 Hz, 12 dB/octave, for eliminating rumble. The power supply lets you flip the polarity should you need to do so.

The mic terminates in a 7-pin connector, so good thing it ships with a 15' 7-pin cable that plugs into the power supply. Also included is a conventional, 15' XLR cable to output the mic into your preamp as well as a shockmount, an aluminum flight case, a cleaning cloth, and the power supply itself.
