The CR20 Tube Emulation Condenser Microphone is like having two microphones in one!
 
At the flip of a switch, the sonic characteristics of the CR20 contrast between a crisp, clear detailed high end sound often found in solid state condenser mics, and a warm, balanced rich bottom end fullness, similar to the buttery tone found in vintage tube microphones. With its double layer alloy mesh shield and modern sleek black and chrome finish, the CR20 is a remarkably versatile addition to any mic collection!
 
The CR20 offers unmatched flexibility and performance for multi-track vocal and instrumental studio recordings. At the flip of a switch, the sonic characteristics of the MXL CR20 instantly change from crisp and clear with detailed high-end to warm and balanced with a rich bottom-end, similar to the buttery tone of vintage tube microphones.
 
In a sleek black and chrome finish, the CR20 adds class and style to any studio without sacrificing durability or function. Two layers of alloy mesh shield the sensitive condenser capsule from moisture and vocal plosives.
 
The MXL CR20 includes a standard hard-mount mic stand adapter and microfiber cleaning cloth, and is carefully packed in impact-resistant foam, housed in a rugged hard-plastic case.
