2003A

Large Capsule Condenser Microphone

Manufacturer: MXL

Another MXL winner that puts pricier mics to shame, the MXL 2003A is a go-to tool for those critical recording applications like acoustic guitar, where clarity, presence, and detail are deal breakers. A switch selectable bass cut and -10 dB pad provide additional recording options, and a transformerless FET preamp will please the pickiest engineers with its smooth and even response.

MXL 2003A Condenser Microphone Features

All-purpose mic with a vintage-modeled capsule design
Transformerless FET preamp for a smooth, even response
Outstanding realism for recordings of any instrument
Bass roll-off and attenuator to fit any recording situation
Excellent for recording any style of music
Includes MXL-56 high isolation shockmount

"The MXL 2003a is an excellent choice as an all-around instrument and vocal mic if you are unable to drop thousands of dollars on a vintage or boutique mic. It is one of the best LDC's in its price range (around $170 street) and performs as well as mics that cost 2 or 3 times as much. Kudos to MXL for bringing to the market a great sounding mic for very small change."- Aaron Rutten ("The Modern Vocalist Journal")
