I just bought a pair of MXL 2003. This is a condenser microphone laminae wide (27mm) with 3-position switch:-10dB, normal, low cut.

I refer to the manufacturer site for particulires CHARACTERISTICS ...

Couraging I mostly taken from classical music, then use various couples.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a purchase trsrcent, so that this opinion into perspective ... but I will not fail to update it later ...

What I like most:
* The precision of sound, clear and warm, well equilibrated with APRS me and the little that I could expriences men today. Compar an AT3035, which is a little more, the sound is better, a little more equilibrated (the AT is very well too).
* The shape, weight. This is not a toy! and shows ...

I possde an AT 3035 (wide laminae) and two ATM 33A (small cap). I RALIS catches in the same conditions for the singing voice (type Varita 30 cm) compared the AT3035. the diffrence is minimal. A little more clear and warm for the MXL, just over mtalique and screaming for the AT, but it's really trs trs little ... You really compare trs fine to hear the diffrence ...
on the other hand couple ATM33A ORTF compared to the diffrence is quite noticeable.
The MXL with its large membrane makes a sound (piano / flute) more clear and warm, balanced trsraliste really beautiful. The ATM33a, trs good too, make a sound Submitted least, more "acute" as a whole (small capsule requires ...) with just under body ...

Q / P trs trs trs good ... You can go eyes closed. For the price a score (150) is a micro Arelle of good quality that can work well ...

I srement remake that choice, even if I think the variety is rich in a park of interresting microphone. So my next pickups will not be MXL priori.

The MXL 2003 is a good microphone. Chinese-made ok! master robust, well finished trs.

To see the behavior of use!

Edit the 10/11:

I had the opportunity today to make a comparison between the relatively prcise AT3035 and MXL2003, there is no photo ... This is the MXL which wins!
The configuration is the classic recording of variation on a singer. Once the voice recording, a balance lgre compression level, and not touch anything in the spectral balance: there are both precision, heat, a grain rev appr Ciable. The Audio Technica is very well too, but more mtalique He temperatures requiring some work on her to find something good. If I have time, I'll post the files for comparison of two microphones on the forum.

I'm really surprised by the sound quality of this microphone. A mirco which will find its place in all the studios, which I think will work well in many configurations rsultats ...
