MXL CR78 Premium Studio Mic
Thank you!
Thank you for purchasing the MXL® CR78 Condenser Microphone. MXL microphones are the result of world-class engineering and manufacturing. They are designed to provide you with outstanding performance and exceptional value. For best results, please take a few moments to review this literature.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The limited edition MXL CR78 results from years of research to create a large diaphragm condenser microphone that delivers rich smoothness from premium components developed for any instrument or vocal studio session. The FET circuitry has incredible fidelity with an ultra-low noise circuit to ensure great recordings for various application
POWER REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT – This microphone requires phantom power at 48 volts, +/- 4 volts. Each unit has been thoroughly checked before shipping, so if you hear no sound, check that the phantom power on your preamp, mixer or separate power supply is switched on.
MICROPHONE CABLES
Your microphone cable can have a profound effect on the sound of any microphone. Even the finest microphones will sound poor if the interconnect cable allows noise to enter, which can cause distortion and loss of information. We recommend Mogami® Gold Studio Microphone Cables.
CARE
Dust and foreign material can degrade the performance of a microphone over
time so always store the unit in its case. For vocals closer than 3”, use a
“pop filter or a windscreen to avoid getting moisture on the diaphragm as this
can substantially degrade the microphone’s performance.
