Expand Your Sonic Palette with the MXL R144 Ribbon Mic!

If you’re looking to fill up your mic locker, engineers at Industrie Music recommend adding a ribbon mic to your collection. With their characteristically warm and natural sound, ribbon mics are useful for a range of applications — from vocals and acoustic instruments to guitar amplifiers and drum overheads. The MXL R144 ribbon microphone provides an ultra-affordable entry into the world of ribbon mics. Boasting a rugged build and a great sound that belies its budget-friendly price point, the R144 has the smooth top end and rich lows you would expect from a ribbon mic. It boasts high SPL handling, making it a go-to mic for accurately capturing the sound of scorching-hot tube amps, blasting horns, or any other loud source. Plus, the R144’s traditional figure-8 polar pattern picks up sound from the front and rear of the microphone but rejects off-axis sounds, which can be extremely helpful when miking ensembles, drum kits, and other multi-miking applications that have the potential for mic bleed. Broaden your recording horizons with the MXL R144 ribbon microphone from MXL!
