Th ank you for purchasing the MXL Gold 35 Large Diaphragm Condenser microphone. MXL microphones are the result of world-class
engineering and manufacturing capabilities. Th ey are designed to provide you with outstanding performance and exceptional value. For best
results, please take a few moments to review this literature.
General Characteristics
Th is microphone has a gold-sputtered diaphragm and a fi xed cardioid pickup pattern. Condenser microphones are very sensitive, readily
revealing very subtle sonic details. Th ey also tend to pick up sounds outside the pattern more than some designs, which can lead to powerful
feedback if you are not careful. We strongly advise experimentation with placement and isolation requirements with the gain initially set low to
avoid equipment (and hearing) damage.
Power Requirements
IMPORTANT! Th is microphone requires phantom power at 48 volts, +/- 4 volts. Each unit has been thoroughly checked before shipping. If
you do not hear sound, check that the phantom power on your preamp, mixer or separate power supply is switched on!
Shock Mount
Th e MXL shock mount can shift during shipment. Simply shift the nylon bands to center the microphone in the assembly. Be sure that the
wire clamp does not rest on the chassis of the mount as this impairs mechanical isolation. Slide the mount all the way to the rim of the
microphone for the most secure hold.
Microphone Cables
Th e microphone cable can have a profound eff ect on the sound of any microphone. Even the fi nest microphones will sound poor
if the interconnect cable allows noise to enter, or causes distortion and loss of information. We recommend Mogami Gold studio
microphone cables.
Care
Dust and foreign material can degrade the performance of a microphone over time so always store the unit in its case. For vocals closer than
3”, use a “popper stopper” or a foam windscreen to avoid getting moisture on the diaphragm as this can substantially degrade the microphone’s
performance. Due to the delicate nature of condenser microphones, never use water or any other liquid for cleaning purposes.
