Overview

A dynamic duo of condenser mics made for getting every nuance of your sound during recording.

This MXL 840 pair captures every detail of instrument recordings. These twin mics have small-diaphragm capsules and cardioid polar patterns for precise directionality. A fast, transient response makes the 840 pair ideal for drum overheads. Acoustic guitars, pianos and strings sound just as rich, and high-SPL handling capabilities make these mics perfect for recording horns too. Position each 840 microphone in the perfect spot using the included shockmounts for complete isolation from room vibrations.
