Overview: Designed for capturing the nuances of vocals in a studio setting, the 890 Critical Vocal is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone from MXL. Its gold capsule picks up sound in a cardioid polar pattern, while its low-noise circuitry makes it suitable for capturing room ambiance as well as vocals. The microphone also features an extended frequency response over its 800-series brethren and comes standard with a shock mount to boot.
