The difference between mics today is minute. These Minute differences, seem to be huge leaps and bounds in our minds. The minds of the critical listener. If you are not so critical, use your fiscal sense and buy what you can afford. If you are a critical listener, buy the MXL 2003. Actually, all of you, buy the MXL 2003.
Sound
Sounds as good as any mic at any price. Captures vocals with perfection. Don't buy that mic just because its expensive. Buy this one. This will be your favorite mic. I only record vocals. I play with other mics but still have not found one to rival this. I couldn't imagine one would. Poor man's Neumann? No, smart man's Neumann. Buy this then buy your kids some new clothes.
Features
Enough features for the price. I don't need a swiss army mic anyway. Capture my vocals and make it sound so good I get goosebumps. Thats all I ask.
Ease of Use
Plug it in.
Value
Highly competitive price point. MXL wins.
Manufacturer Support
Mine broke. Could it have been because I left it in sub-zero weather in my trunk for too long? It was likely my fault it failed. Called MXL, they say send it. I sent on mon. and recieved it back thurs. same week. MXL appreciates their customers.
The Wow Factor
You have to accept the fact that this is not considered a high end brand, but if neumann put this capsule/electronics in on eof their mics, it would sell and the reviews would be favorable.
