Leonard Marshall, an avid enthusiast of microphones, founded MXL in the 1990s with the goal of creating high-quality, advanced studio mics that are both accessible and simple to use. This mission continues to be the basis of the company today. MXL has showcased its proficiency in merging science and artistry to develop unique designs across various applications, particularly sound reproduction.
MXL’s products are designed to provide both remarkable sound reproduction and an attractive aesthetic to an extensive global creative community. The company is independently owned and operated and pursues excellence in design, and quality is at the core of its operations. All microphones are designed, engineered, and tested at their headquarters in Torrance, California.
