Mackie EM-91C

Mackie EM-91C

great microphone, covers all recordings from vocals to instruments for little money

Good condenser microphone

Nothing to say regarding the sound or the build of the microphone. The only downside is the fact that the pattern can't be changed nor you have a switch for a low pass filter of any kind. Simple plug and play but with a great sound.

Would recommend for a first condenser microphone for recording vocals and guitars.

Super sound, finicky output

The sound reproduction of this mic is outstanding. I just couldn’t dial in the gain in a suitable way. My Marantz doesn’t have that issue, which is why I opted for a return in the end. If it were consistent for me I would have loved to keep it.

Editing this rating from 3 to 4 stars. It’s really a quality microphone. I actually purchased it again because I really like the sound. I don’t like that I have to sing with a pad. I’m somewhat new to this world so maybe it’s weird of me, but I prefer not to have to use a pad when singing. Maybe it’s normal 🤷🏻‍♂️. For that 4 stars but if the gain wasn’t off to me, I’d easily give 5 stars. It’s my go to mic for Smule and I prefer it to my NT1-A because of the reduced upper frequencies. The NT1-A is better for me as a studio mic, it is too sibilant for live recording without a de-esser.

Good Price, Decent Sound

Yeah...really good for this price. macky is such a concrete company in the sound branch.

the sound of it is decent. with some EQ in the high range, it sounds great.

only thing is that I wouldn't use this as a live microphone, for a little bit of more money you'll get an MS-58 or 57 which is.

overall I am happy with this mic
