The MXL CR77 is a dynamic stage microphone blending a vintage style with modern design elements both inside and out. Behind the grill, an integrated foam windscreen filters out plosives and wind noise while the super cardioid polar pattern focuses on sound directly in front of the mic while rejecting extraneous sounds for clear vocals. The CR77 is designed as a live stage mic, but like most dynamics, it's right at home in studio recording use. The CR77 has a built-in shock mount to reduce noise from floor vibrations common in live performances and the stylish and rugged grille offers protection from bumps along the road. The adjustable yoke screws on to any standard mic stand. The CR77 includes a rugged aluminum flight case and microfiber cleaning cloth. Rugged, retro, and road ready, the CR77 is the step up from handheld live mics.
