While admittedly a enthusiastic user of/believer in other MXL mics, the "discovery" of the LSC-1 was a surprise. I was actually looking into dynamic mics, as I was attempting to "tweak" my sound for guide vocals. The deal-maker was learning that the LSC included omni, cardioid and hyper-cardioid capsules. (As part of my recording process, I generally track guide vocals along with a acoustic guitar track. The hyper-cardioid design is perfect for this purpose). The mic itself is, as usual with MXL products, very nicely designed and executed. A straight-forward, "hand-held" type, which includes a 10db pad switch, is nicely balanced. While requiring 48vdc "phantom" power, the mic performs extremely well as a "basic" vocal mic, although I've been so impresse with it that I use it as the "primary" vocal mic on several recordings. As usual, Zounds handled the transaction in a completely "painless" fashion. Having the absolute best price, as well as in-stock, buying from them was a "no-brainer"! I highly recommend the MXL LSC-1, and of course, Zounds, as "the" place for MXL mics, and any other pro-audio needs (and, naturally, any musical gear!)

Although I found that this particular microphone did not suit my voice all that well, it's a very well-made and good-sounding mic. The fact that it comes with 3 interchangeable capsules makes it exceptionally versatile. And, at its price-point, it's an extremely good value as well. Overall, from my initial purchase, to its subsequent return, the staff at zZounds could not have made my transaction any more seamless and satisfying. It'll definitely be back as their commitment to a strong customer service initiative is clearly in evidence.
