  • Phantom Power Explanation

    As reviewed by Billy on 2/14/2011

    This is a great little mic for home recording, picks up singing very well and smooth, I am a hardcore vocalist and with two pop filters this thing produces a very nice recorded scream. I saw a review saying do not buy it due to phantom power, To which I say simply do your research. Yes, it does require phantom power, but invest 30 bucks in an ART tube preamp (You should be using a preamp ANYWAY, to get a good heated signal... a preamp will rid you of that cold digital feel you get when recording without one) and you've got your phantom power. The mic is cheap, so just drop a little more for the preamp and wha-la. Buy this mic. It's a steal for the price.

  • Great Budget Mic

    As reviewed by Gene Marks on 10/17/2010

    Our Studio was build for around 10k. After a mixing board and pro tools LE setup and Mics we didn't have much left for construction. But we managed to pull it off. We used to use a Sennhieser E835(great stage mic) but this has a glassier feel to it. Buy a pop filter! It mixes well with Sure sm57's and 58's but then again what doesn't? Use it with a Presonus TubePre for best results and don't be timid to use the pad feature, this mic pics up my neighbors lawnmower from underground. You get what you pay for, but its surprising more mic for the money than most think. Most reviews I read that were bad I think they just didn't take the time to learn how to use the mic right. Marshall put some time engineering it for budget people like me. I use the sennhieser for backup vocals and this for lead. I yell a lot into it and its withstood what I've tossed at it, but not at first when the levels were off. As far as voiceover its got a nice range, lows are a little lacking it seemed to me but I'm a tenor. Its clear as a bell for money. If you don't have a lot of money, this mic will do an album or at least an EP no problem IF you dial it in for your vocalist. Thats half the battle

  • Great Multi-Source Mic

    As reviewed by WF Studios on 10/27/2006

    I saw the 990 on sale and said "what the hey" - I can always use another mic. Took it home and found it great on guitar cabs, female vocals, and even as a room mic for drums. Basically it's become a great "catch-all" mic and has performed great for us on many sources. Considering the low price you just can't go wrong - and regarding quality, we have used ours for 5-years now with no problems. Chinese mics keep getting better and better!
