Summer NAMM '16: MXL DX-2

Dynamic mic boasts two blendable capsules in one body

Featuring two different dynamic capsules in one mic, the DX-2 from MXL is an intriguing new device designed for guitar cabs, horns, drums and other instrument sources. Featuring a blend knob on the body of the mic itself, the DX-2 lets you select one capsule or the other, or mix between the two.

Capsule 1 is a large, super cardioid design that will pick up more room ambience, while Capsule 2 is smaller with a cardioid pickup pattern designed to reject sources to the sides and rear. Beyond the difference in pickup pattern, there should be some tonal differences to play with too and MXL say that the two capsules can be successfully blended without significant phase cancellation. The new mic is set to be released on August 1st, and will cost $149.
