Do you hear me crystal clear.?

Berthmark 08.11.2017

Before i had bought this product, I had read a few reviews and they all came back reasonably positive, But after receiving the product, I was amazed by its sound and build, this mic really is a cut above the rest for its price. It is really powerful on vocals, and on acoustic guitars it really brings out the tone, without even using any Eq, I will most certainly be investing in another two or three of these, They are amazing period.

A very good buy

This is an excellent microphone for its price.

This is currently used in a radio studio for recording voice tracks. When connected up to compressor etc it does sound much better.

The mic does give a very warm sound, which works very well with vocals and spoken word.

For the rather cheap price, it comes with a decent shock mount and a solid mount. The shock mount makes a world of difference, and allows us to move the mic around on its boom without the listeners hearing anything.

If you're looking for a good microphone that comes with good accessories, then this is the one for you.

I love this thing.

JorgeHH 08.03.2022

In my opinion this is one of the very best microphones I've encountered in my life so far. I used to work at a recording studio too, and it never failed to deliver amazing, natural, raw recordings. The closer to reality your recordings are, the better.

so, pros:
- good size, although i don't think that's very important.
- pretty looking, although, also, not very important.
- natural, raw, realistic, excellent quality sound.
-comes with a very sturdy and resistant looking (haven't tested how resistant it is and hope i never find out, haha) case to transport it or keep it safe and sound at home.

cons:
-mmm, i don't think i can think of anything.

I sold a famous brand mic for this

Ri Mi 29.07.2024

Honestly, the quality and standard of equipment is now getting so high that it seems brand names are really gonna start to struggle.
I sold a brand name mic which costs 650Euros new and replaced it with this one plus two others. I am using this on a floor tom and, it sounds more clear and controlled than the more expensive one I replaced it for.
Well done MXL. This is my 4th microphone from you guys and I am super happy with all of them.
