MXL CR21 PAIR Transformerless Pre-amp Small Diaphragm Instument Microphones

Very Nice microphones por drums overhead and cymbals for the price are awesome..!!!! I have them for a 3 years and still working very good.

I really like this stereo pair of condensers. I run them through a tube preamp and into an old Fostex hard drive digi recorder. Panning them 1/left and 1/right gives a very nice take on acoustic guitar. Sounds great on strings as well.

Seem very sensitive and work fine with the mixer I have with phantom 48 volt power options. Sleek and nice clips included .Satisfied with these and feel like the quality is more than I even need..

Fantastic mics. Waited to review to get a good feel of these mics beyond use as drum over heads. Recorded blue grass band brilliantly. These are a “must have” item for any home studio. MXL mics are outstanding as I now own four, 990, 67 and now these CR21’s.

So far I am very happy with this purchase! I have been using them to record a concert and jazz band on stage into to focusrite 2i2 into my macbook air using audacity and youtube streaming.Works Great!

I use these mics to record my grand piano. The sound is silky smooth and the bass is crisp and clear. An excellent product!

picks up the fine details just make sure to use a good audio interface im using a motu m4 and the sound quality is really good

Very light weight. Not a preferred feel for mics I’m my opinion. These mics are EXTREMELY sensitive. Try to record a fart through a pop filter and the diaphragm reacts with a physical bow pop flex noise. I’m scared to place them on the 12 inch speaker on my cab for analog guitar recording because the real deal full volume capture will certainly flex the diaphragm causing the distortion and pop. Even on the cone.
