GAUGE MICROPHONES - CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.
OEM with undetermined-vendor capsule.

The MXL 2003 / 603 package remains just about the best value in Chinese microphones available. The 2003 has a very flat, non-hyped Beijing 797 Audio capsule (generally regarded as the best OEM supplier). The small diaphragm 603's capsule was intended to copy the capsule used in the KM-84.

Two proven Chinese mics that have distinquished themselves from the pack with lots of rave user reviews - all for $169.95, no tax and free shipping.
