Product Description

Following in the footsteps of the highly successful MXL 2001, the 2006 is a large-diaphragm, gold-sputtered true 'Class A' FET condenser microphone -- a sweet and silky-sounding microphone that is perfect for vocal and instrument recording alike.

The MXL 2006 is a super-sensitive large-diaphragm condenser microphone, ideal for budget-minded home studios. Whether you need some fresh vocals for your future hip-hop hit or crisp, clean acoustic guitar for the folk-opera you've been putting the finishing touches on, this microphone can handle it.

Designed with a large, highly sensitive 32 mm condenser capsule and fixed cardioid pattern, the MXL 2006 captures the details and nuances of vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar cabinets, and even percussion.

Its impressive sound quality is backed by Class A circuitry and a balanced transformerless output for outstanding results in recording studios or live applications.

The one-inch gold-sputtered diaphragm results in a very sensitive microphone that reveals subtle sonic details in your recordings.

4.5 out of 5 (20 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"Exceptional Value"
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. Feature: There really isn't any special features you can't change the polar pattern. Ease of Use: Easy setup, works well with my mixers on board preamp. You do need an equalizer by all means. 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. Manufacturer Support: I've personally never had to contact the company for any reason. The mic works great. The Wow Factor: 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. 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.
Style of Music: Alternative Rock, Jazz

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
