MXL 990 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Home recordists searching for a high-quality — yet eminently budget-friendly — condenser microphone will find exactly what they are looking for in the MXL 990. Centered around a gold-sputtered, 6-micron diaphragm, this mic employs all discrete components, which include a battle-tested, German-style transformerless circuit with a FET preamp and bipolar transistors. The 990 makes an excellent cardioid vocal mic, imparting a neutral and balanced sound with enough bottom end for radio-ready voice-overs and enough sizzle to make your tracks pop. It also lends a nice silky sheen to acoustic instruments. The 990 vaunts a durable housing with vintage styling and an attention-grabbing champagne finish. Lest we forget, you also get a custom shockmount, mic stand adapter, and foam-padded case.
