Very Revealing
Featuring a dual gold-sputtered, 6-micron diaphragm and a continuously variable knob to move between cardioid, figure-8, and omni polar patterns, the MXL Revelation II is a modern large-diaphragm EF86 pentode tube microphone with a wallet-friendly price. MXL says the Revelation II boasts 20Hz-20kHz frequency response, 136dB max sound pressure limit, and a 76dB signal-to-noise ratio—impressive numbers for a tube mic, let alone one in the sub-$500 category.
