Ribbon microphones are known for their rich, warm sound and have been used to capture some of the most legendary recordings in history. The MXL R77 is a stunning ribbon microphone in a custom gold and chrome finish that delivers natural sound and realism to both vocal and instrument recordings. The 1.8 micron aluminum ribbon and figure-8 pickup pattern extend the “sweet spot” with a wider pickup pattern. The R77 has more extended upper-range sensitivity than other ribbon mics making it a terrific choice when additional clarity is needed.Main Features:Durable, high-quality ribbon mic in a custom gold and chrome finishWarm sound with a robust low end and a full midrangeFigure-8 polar pattern that captures instruments and room soundHigh SPL capabilityideal for horns and electric guitarsPremium Mogami cable wiring for exceptional audio fidelitySpecifications:Type: Ribbon Velocity MicrophoneRibbon Element: 1.8-micron aluminum ribbonFrequency Range: 20Hz -18kHzPolar Pattern: Figure-8Sensitivity: -55 dB (0 dB=1V/Pa)Impedance: 270 ohmsRated Load Impedance: >1500 OhmsMax SPL for 0.1% THD: >135 dB @1 kHzSize: 65mm x 180mm/2.56 in x 7.09 inWeight: 860g/1.9lbsMetal Finish: Gold and Chrome
