MXL Revelation Mini FET Condenser Microphone
MXLMXL Revelation Mini FET Condenser Microphone, Large-diaphgragm FET Condenser Microphone with 1.26" Capsule, -10dB/-20dB Pad, and 20Hz-20kHz Frequency Response
Classic FET Character, Striking Modern Design
The whisper-quiet Revelation Mini FET successfully captures the look and sound of MXL's flagship tube microphone, the Revelation II, in a faithful stage-or-studio transistor design. From lead vocals to drum overheads, the Revelation Mini FET punches well above its weight (and price point). Its 1.26-inch gold-sputtered capsule and discrete FET-based signal path are spec'd to accurately translate the emotion of a critical performance to a live mix or tracking session. A 2-stage -10dB/-20dB pad and whopping 158dB max SPL handling give this mic the flexibility to reproduce everything from delicate acoustic instruments to explosive kick drums. In addition to its breathtaking sonics, the Revelation Mini FET makes a handsome centerpiece of your studio, with a distinctive blue and black chrome finish that reflects the quality contained within. Factor in a foam-padded carrying case with cutouts for the mic and included threaded shockmount, and the MXL Revelation Mini FET large-diaphragm condenser microphone is the type of workhorse you can take from venue to venue and session to session.
Quiet FET design
The FET's role in the chronicles of mic design is legendary. The Revelation Mini FET swaps the tube circuitry of MXL's flagship Revelation II for the highly transparent tone of a transistor-based signal path. The result is a neutral tone that stands up to severe scrutiny in the studio, as well as a robust design that can handle the rigors of a live environment.
Mammoth SPL handling
Thanks to onboard -10dB and -20dB pad switches, the Revelation Mini FET packs a massive 158dB max SPL handling. That's plenty of headroom to capture live drums and roaring amps without overloading.
