MXL

collapse expand iconDescription

The MXL 990 Blizzard White limited-edition LDC condenser microphone has a silky, sweet high end while retaining tight, solid low and midrange reproduction. The 3/4" gold-sputtered diaphragm creates a professional sound suited for digital and analog recording. Attractive vintage body style with champagne finish. The 30Hz–20kHz frequency response is ideal for lead and background vocal, male or female. It includes a clip. This mic requires phantom power, so make sure your console or interface delivers it before ordering.

There are a bazillion studio vocal mics on the market that break the magical $100 barrier, a traditionally unheard of price point for a studio vocal mic. Once that price floor was demolished, however, the market became flooded with offerings in the $80–$100 price range. MXL has emerged as a true leader in this market, and the MXL990 is MXL's flagship product in that category. If a well-built, good-sounding, versatile studio microphone for less than $100 sounds like a good fit for your current needs, you can't go wrong with the MXL990.

    My first purchase of a condenser mic like this. I am pleased with its ability to pick up both music and voice from a considerable distance with great clarity. It looks great too! I am very satisfied with the 990 Blizzard that I plan to used mainly for studio recording.

    I wanted a reliable microphone, feel and look to my upcoming online radio show. The microphone itself is a normal 990 but has the look I've been wanting. With my deep enthusiastic voice is great with this microphone. I would say this is definitely an intermediate microphone that needs lots of love and care.

    Would this be good to use live for vocals (acoustic/electric guitar & acoustic amp)? Looking to make the switch from dynamic mic.
