The MXL DX-2 is the first dual-dynamic capsule mic that lets users tailor the sound from one capsule to the other (and all points in-between) for easily customizing the mic’s sound to match any guitar amp. Its flat-faced, side-address design places the mic capsules close to the sound for optimal pickup, while a crossfade knob on the back side makes adjustments a breeze. Capsule 1’s supercardioid large-diaphragm design captures the warmth and fullness of the instrument while Capsule 2’s small-diaphragm cardioid element offers clear midrange and high-end detail. The mic can hang over the front of amp/speaker cabinets from the XLR cable, or be stand-mountable.
