"Great mic, great price"

Nice shock-mount. dB switch is nice. Wish the carrying case was padded. Otherwise, no complaints.

Quality:
Solid.

Value:
Can't get a better mic for the price.

Desirability:
I've got two. Wouldn't mind having two more.

Sound:
I haven't used that many different mics, but I can't imagine doing significantly better than this. It sounds wonderful.

Support:
Had a problem that was unrelated to the mic, and when I called the company, they were very helpful.

Just a great mic for the price.

"Looking for clean, natural sound? The Marshall MXL2003 is it."
Feature:
With a -10db and bass cut switch, what else could one ask for?

Quality:
Heavy and very well constructed.

Value:
The sonic detail and fidelity of this mic says it all. EXCELLENT

Desirability:
The color (black), professional feel, and of course the sound are exceptional.

Sound:
When recording orchestra, this mic exhibits fantastic detail and excellent balance. This mic coupled with a Mackie Onyx 400 makes for an excellent home or mobile recording setup with the ability to deliver professional results.

Ease of Use:
For vocals, you'll need a wind screen. Otherwise, this mic faithfully reproduces the performance in all it's detail.

Support:
Never needed it so I can't rate it.

Overall:
I will definitely be purchasing more MXL2003 mics. The price/performance is great!!
