990 Large-diaphragm Condenser
Home recordists searching for a high-quality ā yet eminently budget-friendly ā condenser microphone will find exactly what they are looking for in the MXL 990. Centered around a gold-sputtered, 6-micron diaphragm, this mic employs all discrete components, which include a battle-tested, German-style transformerless circuit with a FET preamp and bipolar transistors. The 990 makes an excellent cardioid vocal mic, imparting a neutral and balanced sound with enough bottom end for radio-ready voice-overs and enough sizzle to make your tracks pop. It also lends a nice silky sheen to acoustic instruments. The 990 vaunts a durable housing with vintage styling and an attention-grabbing champagne finish.
991 Small-diaphragm Condenser
If you're recording acoustic instruments on a budget, you'll be hard pressed to surpass the quality of the MXL 991. This pencil condenser includes a gold-sputtered, 6-micron diaphragm and a wide cardioid polar pattern. The 991 is tailor-made for close-quarter applications, thanks to its compact profile, and its 30Hzā18kHz frequency range captures everything you plant in front of it with an impressive level of detail. While this small-diaphragm microphone injects your tracks with enough high-frequency presence to make them stand out, it does so without becoming strident.
