When attending AES, you have an opportunity to demo and try out new software and products being released over the next few months. The Noise Room will be previewing some of this gear with numerous videos that we shot at AES. I was impressed by the number of microphones that were on display. In this video, Kevin Weiss from MXL Microphones talks about their new CR30 condenser mic that will be available towards the end of the year.
From MXL Microphones:
MXL, a leading manufacturer of consumer and professional grade recording microphones today announced the addition of the CR30 to its line of award winning microphones. The CR30 is a short frame condenser microphone, designed for the serious studio musician in mind, and at the same time offers a price point that is affordable to studio professionals, project studios, and home recording enthusiasts.
The CR30 is designed to produce a natural warm sound that will compliment and accurately reproduce the vocal performance of any singer. With a 3-position attenuation switch, the sound can be adjusted to the vocalist’s individual style, making it very versatile. It delivers a rich, full sound using a 32mm large diaphragm 6 micron gold sputtered capsule, which makes it professional grade while giving it an extremely affordable edge over similar types of microphones that are in much higher price ranges. It comes complete with a flight case and shock mount. In addition to the high quality circuitry built into CR30, the design of the microphone is sleek with a black chrome finish. It has an eye catching gunmetal-like black chrome finish, making it a stand out microphone for any collection, while providing accurate, clear, high quality sound reproduction. The CR30 is the flagship of a new line of black chrome MXL microphones.
