Excellent Microphone Value
354287
The sound quality is excellent.  The only surprise to me (being new to audio recording) is the input signal strength seemed to be too low.  I only use the USB option and my research showed that low input signal strength is normal for this type of microphone when used without a pre-amp.  It is easily compensated for by software amplification.

We were looking for some wireless mics for our mobile DJ business. I looked locally and could not find a price that I was happy with. I don't do much Internet shopping, so I was a bit reluctant to buy something online. The quality of this product resolved that fear I had of getting "ripped off". The microphones hooked up very easily to our existing equipment, and the instruction were written in plain wording so there was no way you could screw it up. I easily got a good 230 foot range out of the mic. I feel that for the price I paid, i will be very happy with this product for a long, long time.

I liked it enough I bought a second one for my wife.

Notable points (especially for computer users):

- Gives good sound quality for the price. This is a good introductory microphone and was of much better quality than I initially expected.
- I recommend using noise-cancellation settings on your sound card AND the wind guard; it can and will pick up background noise and air currents.
- As with pretty much every condenser microphones this does require a phantom power supply. Don't forget it!
- The arm is surprisingly strong for its weight and stays well.
- You will need an XLR to 3.5mm cable to go between the phantom PSU and a computer.

The Microphone is and excellent product, that is easy to use and easy to setup.  This is a steal at this price for a condenser Mic.  Works like a Charm for recording Vocals, Voice Overs and some instruments.  I will definitely be buy more MXL products

I have a hobby/gaming related podcast called War Council on Itunes (yeah, me and everybody else out there, right?).  In the past I'd been using a gaming headset and Skype as a vehicle for recording our podcast, but I was displeased with the quality of the audio recording and wanted to up my game.  I was looking for a relatively inexpensive microphone since I wanted multiple co-hosts and guests on the show and would need to facilitate up to four mics at a time.  This microphone met all my basic needs on paper (pop filter, XLR plug, etc) and was REALLY inexpensive.  I was pleasantly surprised at the audio quality on these mics.  Our recordings are clear, the audio is crisp, and the price can't be beat.  Don't believe me?  Find War Council on Itunes, episode 11 and beyond and hear for yourself.  You've got to hear it to believe it.

For such an inexpensive price this microphone has amazing sound quality.
I took the advice and bought a pop screen to go with it.
Total price was under $20!
Plugged it in, no software to mess with and was recording in 10 minutes.
Cord is a great length, can pull it as close to your mouth as you want.
Comes with a quality stand to hold it. Fits on a desk easily.

Bought it to be used as a "voiceover" mic while the camera is strapped to a harness. Very pleased with the sound quality, especially for $40. It's not as rich as, say, a $600 Senheisser lav, but it's still very good. Glad I got it.

These mics work very well.  The receiver unit is very ample, and the construction of the microphones is very impressive.  Anyone who can't figure out how to hook them up shouldn't own them.  The vocal quality is excellent, and if you kill the batteries its your own fault... shut them off when you are not using them (the microphones themselves.)  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I am so pleased with this mic. For podcasting or home recording projects this is the one, don't spend a bunch of money.

Excellent product for the price. Clearly has no rivals in this price range. Now, from the point of view of microphone performance could say many things, I firmly believe that more positive than negative. Can you compare it to a $ 400 mic as an audix I have ?, the answer is no. The difference is a lot in terms of the accuracy of the measurement sample?, The answer is no again. Then to what is comparable, we would have to discuss long hours regarding their older brothers. Here I try to expose a product that costs on average 30 dollars, which has the characteristic of being ridiculously ultra portable, that you can use with cellphones (iPhone in my case), with computer software, that has its calibration file, etc. It really is amazing what it offers for so little money. The curve is flat enough to obtain very satisfactory results. In my personal case, I compared it with my Audix microphone and there is not much to blame when I adjusted my Alpine pxa-h800 (car audio) processor. I am very satisfied with the purchase. I absolutely recommend it.

Excellent mic for this price; mic is being used on a celtic harp. This is a difficult instrument to mic,  and our harpist is pleased with the sound, I would recomend this mic to anyone looking great value in an instrument microphone.

I am a film editor and amateur sound mixer, so believe me when I say that, the average person will not be able to tell the difference between this and other far more expensive microphones.

Yes - this microphone is not as good as one you might buy for two or three hundred dollars, but for the price - it simply can't be beat.

If you are trying to put together a small studio, DJ rig, or live performance kit on a tight budget - look no further, this is absolutely the mic for you!

This mic pair is exceptional for the money. It's a no-frills, plug-and-play type system, and it does that very, very well. The overall response is pretty normal for a wireless microphone in this price range: not stellar, and requires more EQ than better mics to dial in a good, flat response. However, considering that you get two and a receiver for the price is excellent. Also, the include unbalanced cable is of good quality and appropriate length.

Only one minor flaw keeps me from giving this 5 stars, however. The volume output of this device is surprisingly low. Each channel has an individual volume level control on the receiver, but in order to avoid unnecessarily high gain levels on my mixer, I had to turn the unit volumes all the way up. I did that to avoid feedback by over-gaining the mic signal. The trade-off: there is a tiny bit of extra distortion though the channels with the volumes turned all the way up. On a related note, you will NEED a decent preamp in your mixer to make the most of these.

The Wireless range is great. It operates easily in large rooms with clear line-of-sight. Where range runs into trouble is with sturdy walls. That being said, I can't really think of an application where you'll be putting a solid wall between you and the receiver, so I don't see that being a problem.

I'm not a huge fan of the unbalanced outs for the receiver. This isn't a problem if you intend on keeping the unit close to your Amp/Mixer (like I do), but if you need the receiver to be far away from your amp, you'll have to get some really good cable.

Finally, keep in mind that this order does not include batteries, so have some on hand if you need this working as soon as you get it. If battery life proves to be exceptional, I may raise my rating of this product.
