The MXL 990 Blizzard White limited-edition LDC condenser microphone has a silky sweet high end while retaining tight solid low and midrange reproduction. The 3/4 gold-sputtered diaphragm creates a professional sound suited for digital and analog recording. Attractive vintage body style with champagne finish. The 30Hz–20kHz frequency response is ideal for lead and background vocal male or female. It includes a clip. This mic requires phantom power so make sure your console or interface delivers it before ordering. There are a bazillion studio vocal mics on the market that break the magical $100 barrier a traditionally unheard of price point for a studio vocal mic. Once that price floor was demolished however the market became flooded with offerings in the $80–$100 price range. MXL has emerged as a true leader in this market and the MXL990 is MXL s flagship product in that category. If a well-built good-sounding versatile studio microphone for less than $100 sounds like a good fit for your current needs you can t go wrong with the MXL990.
