The MXL 990/993 Recording Microphone Package includes the 990 large diaphragm, cardioid condenser microphone and a 993 small diaphragm, cardioid condenser instrument microphone. With both of these microphones, you'll be able to record anything from vocals, drum overheads, acoustic guitars, and much more. Also included in this package is a mic clip for the 993 mic, a shockmount for the 990 mic, and a hard case for storing all the items.
MXL 990 Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone
For Singers and Working Musicians
With silky highs and solid lows and midrange, the MXL 990 offers the tonal performance needed to meet the standards of analog and digital recording systems. Equally capable for vocals and instruments like piano and acoustic guitar, the MXL 990 produces full-bandwidth tone and a healthy output level that requires less gain than typical dynamic microphones.
High Quality for Home Studios
Many home recording setups don't have the acoustic treatment that professional studios utilize to absorb and disperse sound evenly. As a result, room ambience and background noise are problems commonly experienced at home. The MXL 990 has a cardioid polar pattern, which picks up very little sound behind the mic. This enables it to capture more of the sound in front of it and less of everything else.
Phantom Powered
As a condenser mic with a FET preamp, the MXL 990 requires phantom power to operate in any environment. So, it should be connected via an XLR cable (available separately) to a mixing board, a microphone preamp, or an audio interface that can send +48V phantom power.
