The MXL R77 is a ribbon microphone with true vintage charm for recording applications. The sound is ribbon-typically well rounded and warm. The tried-and-tested U mounting bracket allows the microphone to be aligned easily and flexibly.
In times of completely digital music production, ribbon microphones as an alternative to large-diaphragm capacitors are back in heavy demand. Compared to condensers, the ribbon principle convinces with a higher presence in the midrange and an overall subjectively warmer sound. In addition, the ribbon technology reacts much more sensitively and quickly to sound sources than large capacitors are able to do, i.e. it depicts the transients in particular, which give the human voice its particular character much more precisely.
The MXL R77 also impresses with its high-resolution and impulse-strong sound. Besides vocals, guitars, electric guitars, brass and percussion also benefit from the special impulse strength of the ribbons. The MXL R77's presence in the centre makes it particularly suitable for instrument recordings with a lot of body and presence in the basic sound.
The exterior of the MXL R77 ribbon microphone is indeed noble and vintage - the workmanship and design are absolutely convincing and underline the character of the R77 as a true classic. The solid chassis also ensures reliable suppression of resonances, while the tried-and-tested U-stop bracket allows the microphone to be aligned easily and flexibly.
