I have used numerous MXL mics over the years, and have always had excellent results. Initially, I tried the Genesis as a room mic on a grand piano, and the results were just amazing. From the full bottom end to sparkling highs, it gave me the natural sound I wanted, with next to no EQ required. With female vocals it was simply stunning. There is something about the warmth and intimacy of this microphone that I have previously only been able to capture with microphones costing much more. What truly surprised me though, was when I tried it on the outside of a kick drum where I previously used my FET 47. The FET 47 is enjoying a long vacation in my Mic Locker. The guys at MXL seem to be continually raising the bar for quality in affordable mics. With great products and amazing customer service, MXL are always high on my list of preferred equipment when I need to get the job done.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnthony\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRocky\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGallo\u003cbr\u003eChief Engineer --\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Cutting Room\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNYC\u003cbr\u003e(John Legend, Carly Simon, John McLaughlin)\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Genesis comes with a custom shockmount specifically designed to handle its large size.

The bass roll-off is set to 6dB per octave at 150 Hz. This can reduce proximity effect if required. Proximity effect is the change of frequency response as the recorded source is brought closer to the microphone. With vocals, this usually manifests itself as an increase in low frequency content as one gets closer to the microphone. The -10dB pad effectively reduces possible overloading of the microphones internal circuitry at high SPLs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePop Filter\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Genesis comes with a custom 24k gold-plated pop filter which should be used anytime the microphone is being used to record vocals. The pop filter not only eliminates plosives (those\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003epopping Ps\u003c\/em\u003e), it helps collect condensation from one’s breath and protects and protects the microphone’s capsule from moisture in the process. Condensation on the microphone’s capsule will cause the microphone to short circuit - resulting in the microphone cutting in and out of operation. Should this occur, you can leave the microphone uncovered, out in the open for approximately two weeks to thoroughly dry. This will likely rectify the problem. Afterward, you should always use a pop filter.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"longdescription-section\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifications-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-specifications-info\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMXL Genesis Tube Condenser Microphone Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTube Type:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMullard 12AT7 or equivalent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDiaphragm:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6 micron gold-sputtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrequency Response:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e20 Hz - 20 kHzM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePolar pattern:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOutput Impedance:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e200 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePre-Attenuation Switch:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0 dB, -10 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHigh Pass Filter:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6 dB\/octave @ 150 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEquivalent noise:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e18db (A-weighted IEC 268-4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eS\/N Ratio:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e78dB (Ref. 1Pa A-weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMax SPL for .5% THD:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e130 dB\/140 dB (0dB, -10 dB pad)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePower Requirements:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDedicated power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e59 x 240 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e1.55 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"description\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"description\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1641\/1633\/files\/MXL-logo-black-print_large.jpg?v=1499130773\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"description\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStudioSenter is an authorized dealer of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"brand\"\u003eMXL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e products.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"description\"\u003e 141148-416\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MXL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36454409937,"sku":"141148","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1641\/1633\/products\/57.jpeg?v=1499130926"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1641\/1633\/collections\/500Mic_6b421163-f9ef-478d-9f5a-7257af773028.png?v=1481155728","url":"https:\/\/studio-senter.myshopify.com\/collections\/tube-microphones.oembed","provider":"Studio Senter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
