Overview

An excellent pair for the first stage of your recording process.

Includes a PreSonus TUBEPre Microphone Preamp and an MXL 3000 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone for one low price.

PreSonus TUBEPre Microphone Preamp
Lets you add character to your signal by varying the amount of gain and tube drive. A 12AX7 tube in this single-channel mic preamp fattens your signal while dual-servo gain stages let you simultaneously output to your amp and console. Sterling specs include 10Hz-80kHz frequency response, a 94dB noise floor, and >90dB S/N ratio. Capacitor-free circuitry and wide dynamic control give you a big boost without noise. Includes 48V phantom power, phase reverse, 20dB pad, and 80Hz rumble filter. A large VU meter with a cool blue backlight keeps you informed. Balanced/unbalanced and XLR I/O give the PreSonus TUBEPre flexibility. Great as a studio direct box.

MXL 3000 large-diaphragm condenser microphone
The MXL 3000 is a large-diaphragm, gold-sputtered condenser microphone featuring an FET preamplifier with premium components within the signal path. It has a transformer-coupled output that is very reminiscent of the circuit designs found in early British recording consoles. When used for recording vocals the microphone has amazing clarity and warmth. It is a stunningly detailed microphone that is also appropriate for instrument miking, especially of string and wind instruments. It comes in a rugged aluminum flight case and includes microphone mount.
