MXLDX-2 Dual Capsule Guitar Amp Microphone
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The MXL DX-2 is a dynamic microphone for guitar amplifiers built around two selectable capsule characters. Capsule 1 is a super-cardioid large capsule for warmth and fullness; Capsule 2 is a cardioid small capsule for midrange and high-end detail. A crossfade control lets you move between them or blend their contributions. Its flat-faced, side-address body places the capsules close to the sound, with the adjustment knob positioned on the reverse side for accessible changes.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitar-amp recording setups that need adjustable balance between warmth, fullness, midrange, and high-end detail.
