    MXL Mics Condenser Microphone, Midnight (MXL990MIDNIGHT)

    • I think this microphone produces good sound quality; however, that is tempered by the fact that the other product that I bought with
    • The sound quality is great with the Art Tube Preamp(use mic cables, not 1/4" cables for Phantom Power), and I couldn't be happier with it
    • Awesome recording quality
    • This mic is very good quality
    • And is trying to achieve that super clean sound quality
    • I love the quality of it
    • The sound quality is remarkable for the price.
    • Good quality mic!
    • great quality, so solid, clear sound, tge best
    • Great product, the quality in recording is worth much more than the sticker price.
    • you won't find better quality until you're looking to spend at least 1,000 bucks or more
    • I bought it so I can start recording at my house gret sound and an amazing quality
    • Good quality.
    • The price is a great way to save for those that are looking for a great sounding mic, and the quality is good.
    • Connected to my PC via XLR-to-USB, the sound quality is very clear and there is no background noise or static
    • Awesome Mic and studio sound quality
    • Love this microphone and the sound quality is amazing
    • Great quality for the price, If you know your surroundings and know how to get your best recording this mic is perfect
    • good mic, good build quality regardless of who it is made
    • The quality is great for the price you get
    • Really great quality, durable, and better than any one of my friends
    • This obviously won't match top quality condensers, but for speech atleast, I find it to have a wonderful crisp tone with a warm sound to compliment your voice
    • I would suggest getting this with a M-Audio USB Preamp, because of this amazingly clear quality.
    • The sound quality is amazing and the sensitivity is ridiculously high, which is great for people who have a studio with sound proof material surrounding it
    • A little noisy if you boost the gain to much with a mic pre but using a good quality pre-amp and setting a proper gain structure should give you a nice, warm, full sound, perfect for a home studio on a budget.(Update 4-7-2016) I recently noticed the elastic part of the shock mount has completely lost it's shock absorbing ability
    • Good quality for price
    • This item is great, Has very good recording quality for my small home non professional studio
    • There are people out there with far better, professionally trained ears that might dispute the quality of sound but for what I do, the small amount of recording and voice work I do, this mic is top-shelf for me.
    • Sound quality isn't inherently bad, even when compared with more expensive house-hold names
    • It has an amazing range of pick-up and the sound quality is superb!
    • Such great quality
    • Great quality way better than my USB Blue Yeti in certain ways, only thing is the audio gets picked up too easily (background audio) unless I'm not using it right
    • The sound quality is fantastic and can stand up to professional recordings
    • so we set this one and it picks everything, with great quality, but make ure you are in a sound stage or sound proof enviroment or it will pick the cars passing by 9 floors from the street
    • I found the quality of this mic to be very muddy, it sounds like you threw a blanket over the mic after you listen to your recording
    • Now I have to go find a quality shock mount that will properly secure AND fit the MXL-990 body.
    • Quality is fantastic
    • It has improved my song quality as well as my overall quality.
    • great quality sound for recording
    • As far as the sound, I mean what do you expect for 70 bucks or whatever, the quality is fine perhaps a bit muddy but tolerable
    • As far as the sound, I mean what do you expect for 70 bucks or whatever, the quality is fine perhaps a bit muddy but tolerable
    • Then I hooked it up to the included shock mount and added a pop mic filter (VERY important you use a pop filter because condenser mics are sensitive to moisture from your mouth).The sound quality is far beyond anything I'm used to, but I must confess that I was one of those poor fools who didn't even know what XLR and "phantom power" was -- I only used mics with a USB connection or the 1/8" stereo plug, and they all sound terrible compared to an XLR microphone with 48v phantom power
    • I actually compared this to a more expensive and higher quality mic by recording with
    • Very good build quality, just does not care about beer spit, cigarette smoke, wind, nothing, but like any mic if you bang it around it will die.
    • Now I have to go find a quality shock mount that will properly secure AND fit the MXL-990 body.
    • Cheap quality.
    • Sound quality is great, reliability has been great and the shockmount might not do much, but it looks cool!
    • If you leave it out, plan to protect it from abuse and being knocked around, as well as from accumulating dust and spit.
