MXL MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with Shockmount Reviews
110 of 113 people found the following review helpful Good for the price but I find it a bit muddy, By BassMan (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: MXL MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with Shockmount It's hard to beat this mic on price. I have one and often use it for home recording projects, demos and such. It's a good inexpensive way to record vocals, but I find the sound a bit muddy, and often come back with eq to turn down some of the low-mid frequencies. Now there are a number of condensers coming out in this low price range, and I've tried a few of them and haven't yet found a cheap one I like any better than this. For finished products, I'd use a better mic if available, but this one will work with a bit of EQ and a careful ear.The mic requires phantom power, so I got the Art Tube MP preamp to go with it. That preamp warms up the sound and really helps this mic out compared to the built-in mic pre-amps on my board. 45 of 47 people found the following review helpful Great for the price, perfect for podcasting, By Bob Barnacle (New York, NY) - See all my reviews This review is from: MXL MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with Shockmount I have two of these because they're SO cheap and use them mainly at home if I have a musical idea. One of the reviewers above mentioned it was a bit muddy which I totally agree with. But it's incredibly cheap and fairly detailed for that amount of money. I'm curious how it will hold up over years of use. Anyway, this is probably the perfect "step-up" mic for podcasts if you are currently recording with your computer's built-in mic or a radio shack dynamic mic. I would choose this over the m-audio mics- it feels slightly more durable. 42 of 46 people found the following review helpful Great Mic For the Price, By This review is from: MXL MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with Shockmount I purchased this mic to record mandolin and acoustic guitar in my PC based home studio and couldn't be happier.It accurately reproduces my Taylor acoustic guitar. When used in conjunction with an ART tube pre-amp, it actually enhances my low cost mandolin. No regrets here! |
