About MXL 550/551R Condenser Ensemble Microphone Kit, Red

Because capturing clear, high-quality audio is paramount in professional recording and live performances, the 550/551R Microphone Ensemble from MXL is your go-to solution. This stylish and durable microphone kit, featuring a 550 Large Diaphragm and a 551R Instrument Microphone, is designed to deliver superior sound quality.

The 550 large-diaphragm microphone, with its robust construction, is specifically engineered for capturing rich, full-bodied vocals. On the other hand, the 551R small-diaphragm microphone excels in recording a wide array of instruments, making this ensemble a versatile choice for any audio project.

Both microphones are equipped with a pressure gradient condenser capsule and a cardioid pickup pattern. This design ensures exceptional off-axis noise rejection, focusing on the sound directly in front of the microphone while minimizing unwanted noise from other directions. This feature makes the 550/551R ensemble particularly useful in busy recording environments or live performances.

Internally, these microphones boast Mogami wiring, renowned for delivering a world-class sonic experience. This high-quality internal wiring ensures that your audio is captured and transmitted with the utmost clarity and minimal signal loss.

With a high Sound Pressure Level (SPL) capability, these microphones can record loud sources without distortion, making them ideal for capturing everything from powerful vocals to booming percussion instruments.

Each microphone in the 550/551R ensemble features a standard XLR connector, allowing seamless integration with a mixing board or audio interface. They operate via 48V phantom power, ensuring consistent, reliable performance.

In summary, the MXL 550/551R Microphone Ensemble is a professional, reliable, and high-quality audio recording solution, designed to meet the demanding needs of recording studios and live performances.
