Customer reviews about MXL 990 – Thomann United Arab Emirates

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.

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.

Allrounder

Anonymous 30.12.2016

I purchased it a few years ago as it was mentioned on several forums as a good platform for tweaking and customizing. Well I ended up actually using it "as is", maybe now I will finally have some free time to do the tweaks.
Using "as is" means putting it on men's vocals in front of a gospel choir on a quite loud stage. The included shock mount provided good noise isolation and I could get a decent beefy men's voice to the PA without much disturbance from drums and other instruments. I put it about 80cm-1m from the faces of the singers.
I also used it on some home demo recordings with quite usable results.
Anyway, I am not shy to use it here and there on different types of setups. Knowing it is quite cheap, I don't have to be too careful and can allow myself to experiment.
To finalize, I would say it is a good value for the price.

Excellent microphone

Diyon shibu 19.02.2024

The mxl 990 has incredible build quality, all metal build, Shock mount & hard case comes included which you wont see in other mics at this price point. Very warm & rich tone and in my own personal opinion it is much better than all condenser microphones at this price point. My only grudge about this microphone is that it isn't the best when it comes to recording guitar amps but certainly not the worst. Overall fantastic microphone for home studios highly recommend

Quality far beyond it's cost

Popeahuntis 12.04.2017

I bought this microphone off the back of Recording Unhinged by Sylvia Massey.

Ruddy phenomenal.

I wasn't expecting much given the price but honestly this microphone out performed a decent handful of mic's we used in a vocal mic shoot out.

Decent rugged construction, though doesn't look amazingly fancy.

Worth purchasing even if it's just for a back up vocal mic!

Clean clear sound

Gavin1339 04.09.2015

I've taken a bit of time to get used to this microphone before making any comments. Good for the price? Yes. I'd say that it is better than a most of the other mic's I have bought. It is certainly my favourite for voice overs. It produces a clean clear sound. Good rejection from the sides and rear and sensitive enough to give good vocal reproduction even when I am four to six feet from the Mic. The style is deliciously retro and the build quality seems solid, I like it a lot.

Extremely happy with the mic

arseninsigns 15.03.2023

Very good quality for such a price. Hasn't been tested with acoustic guitar but the mic suits my vocal very well. Probably, I miss only one feature - low cut filter.
