Retro Ribbon Mic Vibe with a Modern Edge
Bask in the vintage vibe and glorious tone of the R77 classic ribbon microphone from MXL. Featuring an eye-catching retro styling, the MXL R77 sports a custom chrome- and gold-colored body with a built-in swivel mount that hearkens back to the legendary ribbon mic designs of yore. However, the MXL R77 adds some sparkle in offering an extended top end that injects modern energy into its core creamy vintage tone. What’s the secret behind the R77’s vintage-with-a twist sound? A 1.8-micron aluminum ribbon, premium Mogami wiring, and a build quality that rivals high-end ribbon microphones. Engineers at Sweetwater have put this glimmering beauty in front of a myriad of sources — acoustic guitars, male and female vocals, pianos, stringed instruments, horns, and more — and it has performed admirably for every application. Additionally, with its high SPL handling, the R77 even delivers on cranked electric guitar amps and as a mono drum overhead. Don’t miss your opportunity to round out your mic collection with this showstopping ribbon microphone!
