The MXL Revelation II is a large-diaphragm tube condenser with a continuously variable pickup pattern, so you can dial between omni, cardioid and figure-8 instead of switching fixed settings. It uses a 6K7 tube and a transformer-coupled output, and ships with a shock mount and power supply. It suits home and project studios that want tube warmth and pattern flexibility without stepping up to a vintage-priced mic. Against fixed-pattern tube mics it is more versatile; against modern FET condensers it is warmer and noisier, and it needs warm-up time.

Lowest price we've seen: $399.95 on Nov 9 at Guitar Center. Tracked across 2 stores since Nov 9.
Owners describe a warm, thick sound that flatters close vocals and acoustic guitar, and they value the sweepable pattern for shaping room pickup. The common complaints are the warm-up wait, audible hiss on quiet sources and the bulk of the shock mount.
