  • Great Mics, but poor Buddy

    As reviewed by Sam Gehrts on 6/6/2010

    I love these microphones one of the best buys I have made in a long time. You can use them live or in the studio. The Large Condenser Mic is perfect for vocals, though I would recommend a wind screen. The Smaller shotgun style microphone is perfect for micing an acoustic guitar and capable of reproducing all the frequencies your guitar can put out. These mics are very versatile but the audio buddy dissapointed me. In recording and in live applications. The Audio Buddy, while effectively providing phantom power needed for the mics, distorted half the time and made the mics seem poor. Also the buddy mixes the inputs together so there is no separation of tracks using this thing. I would give them mics 5 stars but the buddy is poor 3 star max.

  • By Far the Best for Right-Now Recording

    As reviewed by Toi Game on 5/27/2010

    This bundle is the best bundle I've ever spent my money on! It is By Far the best of the best equipment if you are looking to setup a home studio and start recording right away. For the price that it is sold for, I think it is more than worth it! I setup this in my big rig actually and recorded 4 mixtapes using just this and a laptop while I was on the road. Of course headphones too, but this is the only hardware I used. Well worth the bucks that are spent on it! Beautiful, Exceptional quality with the Mic! Easy to use interface also...

  • Great Microphones!

    As reviewed by James Mossak on 6/7/2010

    These truly are some great mics! I have been recording for over 8 years now in the studio and in live situations and have heard a lot of different mics in my time from low quality to the high quality, and I must say that these are some of the best. I have used these mics for many different applications from acoustic guitar, vocals, guitar cabs, bass amps, as room mics, drums, opera singers, and whole orchestras, and have been pleased every time with these mics. The 990 is smooth and warm without any brittleness, it reminds me of a tube mic. The 991's are on the brighter side without any metallic sound or brittleness. These are warm and full sounding mics and give you a nice full sound. And the preamp isn't bad either, it sounds decent with the MXL mics. If you are looking for a great deal, pick these up! I liked them so much that I had to buy 2!
