The Reality Of MXL 990

For the amatures when you pull this thing out of the box you will be gitty it has a good balanced sound it's pretty clean. But the quality matches the price. I have had this thing for about a year and a half. First the the shockmount hardware broke twice cheep metal, I had to pull the guts out twice to resoder weak connections that came loose and now finally It just stopped working all together. It deffinetly got put to the test and I guess for the price It paid for itself but dont expect long term out of it.

Really nice for the price

I have used this mic for primarilly vocal recording, though I have recorded sax, accoustic guitar, and a guitar amp with it as well. While it is not the best mic you will ever hear, it is quite good. It is quite warm on vocals. I'm just worried that one day it will slip through the shock mount. The only thing I would ask for is a Bass boost/cut and a 10dB pad, which they introduced with the 990s, I believe.

Sir. 5

I have owned this mic now for about 3 years. Bought it for a portable studio and proved to be quite worth it. I even drop it a couple months back on the leg of my studio chair and dented the screen...still works fine! I am starting to get a lot more advanced in my skills and am starting to see that even though it made good music for me and friens to listen to, its not the best for pro recording. Price really has nothing to do with the mic since you can find a nice mic without skipping a car payment, but beware that this is really only a temp solution to get you into the door. Down the road if you are still recording, you'll need to upgrade to a more receptive high end mic. (high end as freq, not price)

PRETTY GOOD

Good quality microphone for the price.It has nice details in the highs,a fairly flat midrange, & good bass. Sensitivity is excellent.I use this microphone mainly for vocals and acoustic guitars. On vocals use a windscreen about 6-8" away, it's a tad bright, but can be fixed with eq.. It's a condenser microphone and needs phantom power, I use it with an Art tube mp.I think the build quality is excellent, I like this microphone.

Great Beginners Mic

I have owned 3 of these mics. They rock, great quality and sound for the price. Great for the start of the home studio world. Great for demo's and overall applications. MXL mics are very impressive to any musician of any level.
