MXL Microphones has added the Revelation MiniFET to its microphone line-up.

Inspired by the Revelation and new Revelation II tube microphones, MXL set out to create a microphone that has the same intimacy and warmth of a tube mic, but built around a FET circuit with a smaller footprint. ‘While everyone loves a beautiful, elegant-sounding tube mic, sometimes artists require a smaller, more durable solution,’ says MXL Microphones Director of Sales, Trevor Fedele. ‘With these needs in mind, the MXL team put a great deal of energy into the design of the Revelation MiniFET in order to preserve the classic Revelation sound while increasing the mic’s flexibility for a range of applications, both in-studio and out on the road.’

MXL’s Revelation MiniFET uses a 32mm centre terminated, gold-sputtered capsule combined with a low-noise circuit to focus on the midrange and lower frequencies – which, the company believes, sets the mic apart from entry-level condenser mics. Additionally, the inclusion of a three-stage pad (0, -10dB, -20dB) provides the flexibility needed for recording high SPL sources, such as horns and kick drums.

‘We look forward to seeing musicians and artists put the Revelation MiniFET to the test,’ Fedele challenges. ‘I’m confident that this is going to be a workhorse mic that can complement almost any application.’
