It's a good microphone and it does need Phantom Power to get in use, but that's no big deal.

The best sounding microphone I've ever used so far

This is still a very nice microphone for the cost.

This microphone is quite good

This microphone is the best

this microphone is really good

This is such a great microphone

Both microphones work well for acoustic guitars, vocals or anything else you need it for

Record professional Vocals & Instrument with an Elegant, Robust and Realist microphone.

I'm all ready planning for my next microphone: SHURE SM7B Vocal Dynamic Microphone, it's a hell of a chunk of money, but hey, it's one of the holy grail industry standard mics out

It contains the normal characteristics of an inexpensive condenser microphone (i.e. bright high-end, however that is nothing that can not be controlled with the use of an equalizer)

On the low setting, the microphone would in my opinion be muddy but on the high setting, I can hear a mouse wetting cotton in the next room.

microphone sounds nice although the shock mount arrived

, this is a nice microphone

Love this microphone and the sound quality is amazing

This microphone does a pretty decent job at capturing a variety of sources, its quite surprising for a condenser mic at this price.

Very good microphone

If you're looking for a good microphone that won't cost too much money this is definitely a good choice

AMAZING Microphone

I love this microphone its amazing and the sound is just realy great good bang for the buck

If you are looking to buy a usable condenser microphone, set your budget at $150 or more.

This microphone is simply the best for anyone looking to get started with audio recording

The MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with Shockmount is an amazing microphone because it is CHEAP, and sounds very clear

If you care a lot about the quality of the vocals, or if you need to record loud sounds, I would recommend saving up for a better microphone.

I suggest you look at a decent Dynamic microphone.

This microphone is really great,MY wife uses it with her imac and the sound quality could not be

The MXL 990 is a great microphone

The microphone is great.

Best microphone ive ever used

Great microphone

i have had this microphone for almost 3 years now, and it still works well.

Overall a decent microphone for the price

Phantom power in my audio interface makes this a very sensitive, accurate microphone.

This microphone is fine for recording guitar and soft vocals.

I love this microphone very sturdy and sounds great.

Professional microphone and the price is really good for the quality we are receiving

I love this microphone very sturdy and sounds great.

this is a great microphone for the price.

Back to the review, I heard rumors that this microphone sounds muddy, and that was a major concern as I felt that I needed a microphone that would accentuate the ruggedness of my voice

It's a grate microphone condenser in relation with priceI recomend it

If you have a little $200 amp or recording to a portable digital device then really this microphone will be good for many years to come as long as you make sure you take care of it.

By the way, I route it through an M audio fast track pro (with phantom power).

the only problem is that it doesn't have an on/off switch, but I record off of Adobe Audition 3.0, and if you chose to buy the same items I bought, I can promise it will work... but so far I have upgraded from that mixer and interface to an M-Audio Fast Track, I haven't tested it out yet but something else to add on to that, if you have an cheap xlr cable, you might want a more expensive one, look for a more durable one, any questions on how to setup all this up contact me at: [email protected] out my videos from youtube channel

Just like with any condenser mike it's a good idea to invest in a decent pop filter if you don't want those annoying popping P's in your recordings
