  • Great deal for the price

    As reviewed by Tony on 4/25/2011

    I was trying to decide between a ribbon mic or a tube condenser mic for vocals and acoustic guitar. I went with this for the price, and I am glad I did. The first time I hooked it up to my DAW, I got a very clean and realistic sound without messing with any options or effects. Thats excellent. One concern is that I do not have a pre amp, and I have to turn my gain all the way up on my interface to get this thing to register. I wish I would have realized this before I purchased it, because I am sure I will want to get a pre amp in the future. I hear these things are very fragile, and I am concerned about that. The shock mount works great, and is easy enough to use. It holds the microphone securely. I did not purchase a pop filter for this, but it is a necessity. I will pick one up this week. It is so sensitive, the lightest breath in the direction of the mic creates plosives, which are very undesirable. I am very pleased with the purchase though, especially for the cost.

  • Sounds Professional

    As reviewed by Ernest Smith on 4/11/2011

    This a a great mic for a home studio like mine. It has a clear and natural sound on vocals. You would think it would be pretty expensive but for that price you cannot beat it. Its worth every penny.

  • Great Ribbon for the price

    As reviewed by Jon Visser on 2/26/2011

    I purchased two of these mics. This is a great mic on very sibilant sources including violins. There is also a strange resonant boost around 400hz, but that can be taken care of with a little silicon where the head basket connects with the body. I would also suggest taking out the protective metal screen right next to the ribbon motor- just that increased the high frequencies by about 9Db (starting around 8k). You can also remove the inner metal mesh in the head basket for added highs, but you must be extra careful moving the mic around and using it to prevent ribbon damage. Use a metal pop filter (the nylon ones reduce too many high frequencies). I have not swapped the tranny yet, so I cannot say what effect that would have. You must also have a good preamp to make use of this mic. The typical Inexpensive converters will not give you enough volume with their pre's. Even though these are the least expensive mics I own, I would give this a 5 star after the mods have been done. They compete well against mics 8x's the price. The Nady RSM-4 and 5's seem like a good choice too, but I believe they have 6 micron ribbons. The MXL 144 has a 1.8! Well done MXL.
