Excellent value for money. Makes my Seagull acoustic sound dark and moody. Nice on amplified electric guitars and capable of handing high SPL. Suits some male vocalists I record. Pairs well with a condenser for mid-side recording. A Royer it is not, but it's a useful and sweet sounding ribbon for pocket change.

Value can’t be beat. If you need to capture that rich bottom end, this mic is insane! You’re getting a beautiful, warm low-end response and full bodied mids. Makes guitar cabs sound nice and big, the vocals are crystalline. Great addition to any studio.

For the price you pay you get a decent mic, a holder and a case.

The assignment was recording audio for 6 hours of Christmas programming featuring 42 choirs and various sized musical groups from area schools. In 3 weeks before Christmas then get it edited in time for December 25th. Bought 2 of these because I had owned a couple of other similar MXL mics for 2 years and they were great for sports audience NAT sound. First day recorded 4 channel audio using these mics and 2 - Tascam mics that were similar. Next day ordered 2 more. Love them. For choirs and school band performances they sounded great, natural and really captured that large group sound. They also looked sharp in any shot they got them in. And for the money. Can't be beat. Highly recommend.

I bought this for my laptop and my laptop has enough power to run the microphone. Also, you'll need to purchase an XLR cable to laptop converter as the mic comes with no XLR cables. Just a heads up. But it is a good ribbon microphone.

The screw holding the shock mount together broke in half after only a handful of uses. Can’t even use the mic now until I find a replacement shock mount.

Nice sounding mic for the price. I also have the standard R144 in my collection. The case and shock mount are a nice upgrade. The rest is just paint. This mic is a little brighter than the standard R144 I have, but some differences in sound are to be expected with a ribbon mic. Overall, this nice sounding entry level mic if you are looking to dive into ribbons.

A very good choice to start with ribbon mics. I'm using it to record guitars from the amp, nice. Case and shock mount are great plus

Desafortunadamente mi equipo salió defectuoso o fue usado anteriormente, venÃa sólo en su estuche de aluminio con burbuja y lo peor de todo, no funcionaba, quizás alguien lo pidió previo a mi compra y por ignorancia no supo que esté micrófono es de listón, por tanto, muy delicado. Cuando lo conecté, simplemente no sirvió, mala experiencia.

Solid mic for the price let's the source sit nicely in the mic. Warm, as most ribbons are. But MXL is notoriously bright. So this guy's sits very well in the "warm-ish" category. Too many ribbon mics are so warm they don't work well on most sources. this mic is much more "one size fits all". Good buy.
