I've heard good comments about both, and they are the same price. My application would be mainly drum overheads, but also vocals, acoustic guitar, and guitar cabs. Probably gonna be a stereo pair.

The 4040 is desireable in terms of AT's reputation for overall quality, but I've heard that the V6 has a relly graet "vibe" going on.

Comments?

Hey guys,

I recently talked a guy at GC into throwing a pair of these mics in when I bought my Firepod today. Anyone use these mics? How do they respond, and sound on different instruments?

I know they are pretty cheap normally so Im not expecting much, but I'm curious of what you all think of them.

Hello.

I have a pair of Neumann KM84i's. They are marvellous ofcourse, but I need another pair. Imagine this, I'm recording a grand piano in a church. I'd try the KM84i's in the piano, and this other pair for the ambience. If I feel like it, I might try the other pair (that is possibly a bit brighter) for the piano, and KM84i's for the ambience.

I can't find the front of my MXL 990 they say something about the polarity but i can see anything about that on the mic... I also wanted to know is their anywhere I can get a windshield for that mic please?

Thanks In Advance!

:D

Hey..i'm TOTALLY new to the recording stuff neither did i have a lot of money. So I got the least expensive stuff i could find. I got a MXL 990, Some LiveX XLR cable (5ft), & a Behringer Mic200. I plug that into my Home PC with a standard Sound Card. Anyway, when I started out it sounded great. Ofcourse, since they are really cheap so there was this hiss.

I've heard rumor of a cheap way to modify this microphone (change some of the soldering and a few of the cheaper circuits) to make this budget mic really perform... any one have any further insight into this?

hey folks!

i'm trying to figure out which (budget) condenser mic to buy...i was on the cusp of ordering the MXL 990 (from musician's friend), when i read some reviews complaining that the shockmount is cheap and doesn't work well:

Hi everyone!

Just wondering if anyone has compared the 3? I'm looking to spend about €300-€450 on a well priced mic and these 3 are the ones that spring to mind. Any ideas?

Ta muchly!

HI everyone, i'm new in this forum and i'd like to buil my home studio and i need some advice about the MXL990,992 ; AKG perception 100 ; BEHRINGER B1., becouse i'm on a low budget
any answers will be appriciated.

The reviews on it at Harmony Central are all very high, but I take them with a grain of salt.

You can't seem to get this thing used, or I might try it out... anyone have any experience with it? It seems to be the top of the line MXL. I'm going to be using it primarily for male vocals.
