With its double layer alloy mesh shield and modern sleek black and chrome finish, the CR20 is a remarkably versatile addition to any mic collection!

At the flip of a switch, the soniccharacteristics of the MXL CR20 instantly change from crisp and clear with detailed high-end to warm and balanced with a rich bottom-end, similar to the buttery tone of vintage tube microphones.
In a sleek black and chrome finish, the CR20 adds class and style to any studio without sacrificing durability or function. Two layers of alloymesh shield the sensitive condenser capsule from moisture and vocal plosives.
