Rounding out the new mics is the MXL Genesis, their new flagship microphone. This microphone actually has a tube inside of it, offering performance that simply can't be matched by digital technology. It has a host of other impressive features, such as a 6 micron gold-sputtered diaphragm, and a 20 Hz – 20 kHz frequency response. The MXL Genesis is priced at $595.
