zZounds' Take on MXL 2006 Studio Condenser Mic

MXL 2006: Versatile, Sensitive, Impressive

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

Characteristics of the MXL 2006

Designed with a large, highly sensitive 32mm condenser capsule, the MXL 2006 captures the details and nuances of vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar cabinets, and even steps up for recording percussion. Its impressive sound quality is backed by impressive engineering like Class A circuitry and a balanced transformer-less output for outstanding results in recording studios or live applications. The one-inch gold sputtered diaphragm and fairly wide fixed cardioid pickup pattern result in a very sensitive microphone that reveals very subtle sonic details in your recordings.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (19 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.

"The Greatest Least expensive studio microphone. MXL 2006"
Sound: Nice silky sound. Actually never herd anything like it. With proper mixing there is no difference to those other expensive mics. I love it. Feature: It seems to work best with vocals, live guitars and some purcussions. Ease of Use: Its really easy to use. Just remember to turn on the phantom power on your mixer. Quality: Good Quality. Value: For the price of this thing, youre really getting a good deal. The Wow Factor: Love it. Overall: Good product overall. Works perfect with voices. I use it in my studio even tho I have other more expensive mics I still use it because of that nice silky sound.
