MXL 2006 Studio Condenser Microphone with Shock Mount and Case Reviews

18 People rated this product :

"Exceptional Value"
Feature:
There really isn't any special features you can't change the polar pattern.

Quality:
Very sturdy microphone. I have not dropped it yet but it is pretty solid. I imagine the grill would dent easy, but just take care of it. The casing is screwed on tight.

Value:
For $100, you can't beat that. You can very well get professional results with it.

Desirability:
It's a great looking condenser microphone to add to the studio. If your on a budget then this is the perfect microphone to start out with. Silver finish is nice.

Sound:
It sounds great. A great value for the low cost. I would recommend recording in an insulated reinforced sound room because it really seems to pick up everything. For miking a live guitar cab it turns out pretty good if you know what you are doing, placement and equalizing is key.

Ease of Use:
Easy setup, works well with my mixers on board preamp. You do need an equalizer by all means.

Support:
I've personally never had to contact the company for any reason. The mic works great.

Overall:
Overall I enjoy this product a lot. I've said it a few times now but you cannot beat the price. MXL has a great line of condenser and tube microphones.
