Marshall's MXL Div. Announces The Worlds First 24Bit/96 kHz HDTV Broadcast Quality USB Microphone
January 16, 2008
El Segundo, CA -- Marshall Electronics the developer of MXL Studio Microphones, is pleased to introduce the new MXL USB.008-24, USB powered large gold diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone. The new digital microphone achieves world class sound reproduction while maintaining instant plug and play recording on a Windows® PC or Apple Macintosh computer.

The MXL USB .008 24 is like having a “studio in a mic”. Broadcasters and Voice Over Talent will appreciate the ability to get studio quality sound with an ordinary laptop computer. It is a terrific choice for re-recording voice tracks to accompany video shot in the field without the need to re-record on a camera.

The new MXL USB.008-24 is also an excellent choice for recording vocals and acoustic instruments in non studio environments.

The MXL USB .008 24 features  32 mm pressure gradient condenser capsule with a gold sputtered diaphragm,  24-bit A/D and D/A converters, 96 kHz recording capability and a dynamic range of 114 dB.  A low nose analog front end, with front panel gain control, keeps signal at the correct levels before the A/D section. With a 1/8th-inch stereo headphone jack and adjustable level control the mic provides a convenient means to monitor a recording—with zero latency, while bypassing the computer entirely. The MXL USB.008-24 also has a mix control for adjusting the balance between playback and the direct source signal—providing a fully self-contained monitoring solution for multitrack recording. A attractive blue LED behind the grill illuminates the large capsule while providing visual confirmation that the microphone is powered and active.

The New MXL USB.008-24 lets you record in any environment while delivering a full bodied sound with pristine highs, a smooth and silky midrange, and a rich low-end presence that formerly could only be achieved with expensive professional studio equipment. The new MXL USB.008-24 cardioid condenser microphone ships with a desktop microphone stand, a mounting clip, a flight case, cleaning cloth, one USB cable, plus an owner’s manual and an applications guide. The MXL USB.008-24 carries a MSRP of $399.95.
