Value For Money :
Excellent
Ribbon mic, figure-8 directivity, delivered in small case with PVC suspension, a microfiber cloth ... Expected, according to MXL, for vocals, guitar amp, percussions, strings, brass ...
OVERALL OPINION
Too much money this year for Christmas, so I had a tight budget for a ribbon mic, this technology having always attracted but that goes with the directivity like me often put off ... Well, we try, after all, it costs the same as SM58 ...
First surprise, unpacking, look: it's serious, metal, some chrome, nice finish (for the price some would do well to take a leaf ... I cite one ...), weight "reasonable", that inspires confidence ...
A microphone stand, take the suspension comes with, and there surprises, no adapter to screw "the European" ... This is not the price it costs, but Mr MXL should think that these products are appreciated on this side of the Atlantic ... Cable, a good preamp (Fearn VT2), headphones (DT770 pro) and forward, we first carry a tune ... Next to price, excellent, rendering "ribbon" is there. Down at will is silky, warm, velvety with this many "vintage", I would like to AEA more expensive ... Surprising depth ... Up on the other hand, although it is quite natural, not the definition of high-end microphones, but remember that this is a mic ... € 100 The sound all his own dough, charming, very useful as a second microphone jack, near to the velvety look of a voice, a high-end condenser microphone a little further (station phase) which will pick up this definition and the "air" that he can not give. The marriage of these two technologies provides a crooner side to my voice very frightening to any remaining ...
On acoustic guitars, put aside easel, "watching" the rosette against angle, plus a little static for the next round "fiddle" is absolutely divine, it perfectly captures the extent of the Fund the guitar, it restores perfectly the warmth of wood, and as the static definition will lead us, we are left with a Cort that sounds like a Martin ... Surprising, even mesmerizing ...
One is a banjo that I enjoyed the most, the aggressive side that was often completely disappears, and the sound of the instrument is captured to perfection.
On electric guitar amps, my friends grateux is the one for you ... I no longer taken my guitar amp that with him ... It's colorful, certainly, but the side of some ultra aggressive amp at certain frequencies is erased, while the signature sound that is respected ... Special mention of anything crunch and saturation "hot" ... It sits down a little anyway ...
For other uses, I have not had a chance yet to try it, but I think a snare drum, it should not be devoid of interest ...
Overall, I tend to say that he can not do everything, far from it, but for guitar amps, it may become a benchmark given its price / quality ratio, especially for our friends' six-string players " wishing not to see their sound distorted by microphones certainly good, but more "delicate" to ring ... Given its sensitivity "light" (tape is "like a dynamic "...), live, it should work without problems, I think, I test it soon, I'll do an update ...
For voice, unless you look very sixties sound, it is very much a complement to another, to get the grain of the particular, is low-medium warm and captivating ...
An excellent microphone booster, because it can serve as a main microphone in a home studio (but it is an opinion that is only my opinion ...), surely the discovery of the year, a small price, a large trunk, and the guitars ... Hummmm
MXL is a trademark of micro rising, their microphones are not "revolutionary" technology, far from it, they even tend to retain the proven solutions, but their range is amazing in every way, with products in the price / quality ratio in some cases amazing, and I do not think the happy owners of Genesis, V69XM, V89, 35 Gold and especially the last revelation, I will say the opposite ....
