Large diaphragm microphones are widely used to record vocals and other featured sound sources due to their low noise and ability to capture more acoustic energy than smaller diaphragm mics. Designed with a large, highly sensitive 32mm condenser capsule, the MXL 2006's Class—A circuitry captures the detail and rich sound of vocals, acoustic/electric guitars, and percussion recordings. Included are a shock-mount to minimize unwanted vibrations and a protective carrying case. The elegant brushed silver finish, classic design, and sound quality make the MXL 2006 a favorite for recording musicians.
