zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Looking for clean, natural sound? The Marshall MXL2003 is it."

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. Feature: With a -10db and bass cut switch, what else could one ask for? Ease of Use: For vocals, you'll need a wind screen. Otherwise, this mic faithfully reproduces the performance in all it's detail. Quality: Heavy and very well constructed. Value: The sonic detail and fidelity of this mic says it all. EXCELLENT Manufacturer Support: Never needed it so I can't rate it. The Wow Factor: The color (black), professional feel, and of course the sound are exceptional. Overall: I will definitely be purchasing more MXL2003 mics. The price/performance is great!!

Style of Music: Jazz, Orchestra, Opera, Rock

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"Why have I just told you about my secret weapon?"

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. Feature: 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. Overall: 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.
