MXL 990

Love it

Cheap and simple but excellent value for money and handles bass frequencies really well

Excellent microphone

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

Extremely happy with the mic

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.

I love this thing.

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.

mxl990

Nice mike for less money. Good heavy metal feel of the mike, sounds clear. I dont have plans to upgrade it in the future. THe mxl990 is doing the job.

Good sound for the price

You might need a soundproof around it but it's great sound for the price

Good quality, good value

I would recommend this microphone to anyone wanting reasonable quality at a low price. I am using it for a live Youtube chat show and it works well with good sound and small size which makes it less obtrusive for tv work than most others. There is one downside. (Very) low noise is detectable but most definitely not enough to reject this microphone. Ours competes well with the Neumann u87 and Rode 1000 in the show! We haven't used it on music yet. They say you get what you pay for but I'd say you get a bit more quality than you would normally expect for this price.

Good microphone But a loose part inside

Received the microphone with a part inside that was loose, not a hard thing to fix, just a screw that was loose on the copper part

A nice mic for the price

This one actualy sounds ok. An open sound. Not so smooth as a high end tube mic, but certainly usable. Better sounding then those old Rode NT1's when they first came out.

good for this price

I bouhght this mic for mobile recording projects. I use wa87 normally in my studio. I can say that mic is very surprising for its price. Flat response, not too harsh/high boost. It gives very natural results on my instrument or vocal recordings. I recommend for it for beginner and mobile workers.
