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.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: This mic is amazing. Great lows and mids but the high end is just unbelievable. Beautiful sound and as described... SILKY!! Quality: Big bang for the buck! Crap... for $99.00 you can't go wrong. It's not often you can find a mic that can handle acoustic guitar and vocals and do it well but this one does. At least for me. I've owned AKG's costing many times more and this mic certainly gives them a run for the money! No question about it. Value: The best value you can find PERIOD!! Manufacturer Support: Only had needed support a few times for some questions! They were EXCELLENT and went far above my expectations. Overall: Just buy it. You won't regret the purchase.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: This product for its price is a very good buy. I record vocals only on this mic and so far im satisfied. It's clear and clean on pick up Feature: I like that the MXL2006 comes with a shockmount and carrying case that's always a plus for mobile guys on the road. Ease of Use: I had no problems what's so ever i installed my mbox3 plugged my mic and monitors set my levels and i was on the way to record sum nice tracks. Quality: Like i've said before for a $100 dollar mic with shockmount and case you can't ask for more, it's great for the road but it's always good to have two mics or upgrade for a better one and leave this MXL for back up. I plan on also getting the RODE NT-1000 wich is a lot more and better quality for the pros. Value: 100 bucks is just about rite and you get what u paid for if your looking for a better mic u should spend a little more and do your reserch on what do you need that microphone for. Manufacturer Support: No complaints on MXL products. Just about every home studio i've been to the engineer had a MXL mic as well. The Wow Factor: It looks pro and sexy it's finish is well designed. Overall: I like mxl mics but will upgrade down the road for a RODE NT-1000
