This mic definitely meets or exceeds the recording quality as any others at several times the price. Compared to other mics I've used, my voice sounds super clear and smooth with the MXL. Very happy with this purchase!

Overall:

I used this mic to record an EP with my band, and it handled very well for the price. This mic held up against guitars, drums, basses, vocals, and even a few high and low range instruments that aren't typically used by the modern band. Overall, I love this mic, and can't wait to own one myself. Thank you MXL for this epic mic!

Features:

This mike is great for the price.It needs a little tweaking,but will give you quatility you'd expect from a much higher priced mike. I have used it as a solo mike,and with a group of 3 and it works well  both ways. I like the mike so well I have ordered a second one.
