Overview: The large-diaphragm MXL Gold 35 Condenser Microphone has a body reminiscent of the venerable Telefunken ELAM 251 and a stunning gold-plated finish that's impossible to miss. But this MXL condenser mic is not just about looks. Its advanced design and engineering features- such as a large 35mm gold diaphragm and low-noise circuitry-reveal the most subtle sonic details and provide incredible warmth and openness.
The Gold 35 was initially a custom design for Grammy-winning producer Benjamin Wright, a huge fan of MXL mics, whose credits include Aretha Franklin, Earth, Wind, & Fire, Michael Jackson, and The Temptations. And for a man who already owns the world's most coveted classic mics to choose the MXL Gold 35 as his go-to vocal mic, is really saying something.
Whether you're into high-energy rock, soft-and-mellow R&B, or simply want to record your favorite instrument, the MXL Gold 35 will quickly become one of your most coveted microphones-just like Benjamin Wright.
