Comments about MXL FR-401 Supercardioid Boundary Microphone:

Overall a good mic for the price. However, it did take quite a bit of work to cut out feedback and extra noise.

    Comments about MXL FR-401 Supercardioid Boundary Microphone:

    We purchased two of these mics to use while shooting a classroom training video. They definitely did what we were looking for. These mics have good pick up with virtually no noise. I was impressed.

    Also, for the price, these mics are a bargain. They are solid, professional quality mics.
