Feature:
Comes with the shcok mount, mogami cables and a pop filter. You'll need a much better pop filter though.

Quality:
This mic is made very well. Strong and durable but don't drop it of course! Contrary to some reviews I've seen regarding the carry case I think the build quality is excellent. It's strong and very rugged. A wooden case would've been nicer though. Still this is an amazingly priced package!

Value:
It's worth 4 times what I paid!

Desirability:
Very sleek! Very sexy!

Sound:
Unbelievable sound quality at any price! This mic is very warm and excellent for vocals and acoustic guitars.

Ease of Use:
Very easy. Reproduces the source material exactly!

Support:
Had a few questions and support was awesome. Quick response and very helpful.

Overall:
I'll be satisfied for many years to come with it. I also have the SP TB-1 and it is also a killer tube mic. Between the 2 of them I won't be looking to buy for quite awhile.

Feature:
If it had a bass roll off and pad, it would be great!!

Quality:
Looks great, sounds great, easy to use..............what else is there!!!

Value:
The best bang for the buck I know of.

Desirability:
The clients love the look of this mic!

Sound:
I love the sound now that I switched the tube to a nos GE 5751. It now has that creaminess of the $5000 Neumanns!!! I use it with a Nightpro mic pre, a Manley tube compressor and an old Ashley parametric EQ. Silky as any mic I've heard. I use it on vocals, acoustic guitars and drum room mics.

Ease of Use:
Put it up and go!

Support:
I had to return another MXL mic that I had for 2 years and to my surprise the mic was still under warranty................3 years actually. It was a MXL 9000 mic..............another great one. I called MXL, they gave me a return # and their UPS # to ship no cost to me and said they would either fix it or replace it free of charge. SUPER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall:
I need to buy more of them.

Feature:
Pad and roll off would have been nice, as would switchable polar patterns, but hey, this didn't cost $800

Quality:
Seems very well made, even though the case is crap. I got one of these that was DOA, so I got a little nervous, but I assume it was UPS.

Value:
For the sound, the best value around.

Desirability:
very pretty finish

Sound:
Absolutely fantastic sound. People complain about the case it comes in, but wow, that sound. I'm not an expert, but I've used MXL 1006, Rode NT-4 and NT-1, Audio-Technica 3035, and it blows them all out of the water. Of course a SM57 will be better for snare and stuff, but on vocals, this thing is silky smooth. Fuller and richer than the Audio-Technica, with beautiful high frequencies. I assume a U87 sounds better, but this is still the best I have heard.

Support:
No experience, but I've heard good things.

Overall:
The best mic in my collection. I don't have top-of-the-line stuff, but only a very seasoned studio engineer probably would ever tell this from a multi-thousand dollar Blue or Neumann.

Feature:
No real features. No polar patterns, no pad, whatever. If a mic is right who needs all of this with one mic. There are other mics in my collection that have these features. It is collection worthy.

Quality:
I should mention that the casing to the mic should have been tightened at final inspection, however I was capable of tightening the housing myself.

Value:
My goodness! I have been using this mic exclusively on this current album for the first three songs yet. I think for what I have paid it far exceeds its cost and even competes with more expensive mics.

Desirability:
A mic is not sexy. A woman is!

Sound:
I have worked with the best of the best of Tube mics and condensors. From Nuemann to Manley. I must say that the sound of this mic is very pleasing to the ear though a bit to sibilant. I have notice very smooth lows descant mids and over polished Highs. It is easier to remove what you cannot appreciate however, than to give what is not there. Being a gospel singer I have noticed that it does pickup every nuance of a vocal dynamic, creshendos, vibrato and glatos very detailed. I did eventually change the tube to a mullard 12AX7T and WHOA! I have struck Gold. Try it you will not regret this microphone. I even now record without compression going in, it will not distort if you monitor levels. Hats of to Marshall.

Ease of Use:
Plug it in use it. My 8yr old could set this thing up. Very straight forward.

Support:
Have not needed support. How great is that?

Overall:
Over all it is a great sounding microphone. It is worthy of what it cost and more. I am not a sales rep neither! I am just very excited about this mic. I will be using this for a while. I would actually try some other MXL products now.

Feature:
Everything works great..except for the foam windscreen that comes with it..better off using a pop filter....

Quality:
Everything seems well built..

Value:
I have this mic paired with my Avalon 737 sp and it sounds great!..I owned a Neumann Tlm103 before this, but after i bought this mic, I quickly sold the Neumann..This mic beat it by a long shot!

Desirability:
Everyone thinks i paid "thousands" of dollars for it because of the "gold" grill..lol

Sound:
Warm, and Crystal Clear!! I have this mic running through my Avalon 737 sp mic pre..This mic beat my Neumann TLM103 so many times i sold the Neumann..

Ease of Use:
Plug -n- play

Support:
Never had to use them..hhmm

Overall:
As long as im in this industry..

Feature:
needs bass roll off.

Quality:
Bought it cuz I was kind of shiny aluminiumed out. This doesn't look like something purchased at a truck stop or walmart.

Value:
Heavy sexy,first impressions are everything when selling yourself,for $$ an hour you don't want to look like the nerd with a Mac anbody can do that.

Desirability:
already embellished.The case doesn't make it sound any better unless you are giving it away with every recording

Sound:
Just watch the proximity effect and use a pop filter. It works really on vocals and once you get the sweet spot dialed in it speaks the truth..

Ease of Use:
Just plug er in and experiment with your particular acoustical situation. Mine is used in a truck sleeper.

Support:
No experience. If it goes bad buy another one. That's half the fun isn't it? I don't think they quit selling stuff yet have they??

Overall:
Very pleased
