The MXL claims the Revelation II will offer the warmth and intimacy of a quality tube microphone, but with extended punch for balanced recording. A dual gold-sputtered, 6-micron diaphragm and hand-selected EF86 pentode tube provide warm, rich and transparent sound. The Revelation II’s polar pattern can be controllable by a variable pattern control knob. Trevor Fedele, Director of Sales at MXL Microphones, reveals that the “new Revelation II captures the performance and versatility of the original Revelation, but will be more accessible to artists at a lower price point.”
