Review: Wonderful Mic at awesome price! - This mic is definitely sufficient for normal recording, especially if you run it through a vocal effects processor. I plan to get the TC-Helicon VoiceLive 2 here at desertcart eventually (I really love the gender conversion that makes you sound like a good female voice) but right now I have the KORG EMX and ESX as well as the KORG Kaoscullator Pro, and this mic works great when connected to any of those (but of course connected to a phantom power source first, the patched to the Korg devices). The fact it comes in a nice durable case with foam padding impressed me right from he start. Then I hooked it up to the included shock mount and added a pop mic filter (VERY important you use a pop filter because condenser mics are sensitive to moisture from your mouth). The sound quality is far beyond anything I'm used to, but I must confess that I was one of those poor fools who didn't even know what XLR and "phantom power" was -- I only used mics with a USB connection or the 1/8" stereo plug, and they all sound terrible compared to an XLR microphone with 48v phantom power. And even the XLR cables themselves are a dream come true! -- I was always getting so angry with the normal 1/8" cables messing up and then you have to lick them and plug 'em back in, then spin them around to get the sound to work right. (Nobody told me there was another option!) But XLR cables make it impossible for any humming or hissing sounds or disconnections of any kind since they lock in place and never need any toying with. Now I use XLR cables for all my speakers too, and for all the patch connections between my mixers, amps, and musical devices, and it has made creating music so much more enjoyable! Now I don't have to fidget with those crappy 1/8" cables anymore, and there's never any hissing or annoying humming sounds to worry about. And of course I also realized that you can't just plug your music output right in to your computer's sound card and expect to get professional recording that way -- you have to use a box that converts the music to digital and sends it via USB port to the software, and the box should have XLR inputs for mics and 1/4" inputs as well. Only problem is desertcart has so many of those boxes, I can't decide which one to buy. I want the Lexicon since they are masters of high quality sound recording, but some of the bad reviews make me worry. With musical devices, sometimes you just end up with a unit that has manufacturing defects, and unfortunately those people post bad ratings and make it seem like the product itself is to blame.

Mine buzz and fuzz all the time...** A: Can you describe your setup? What kind of preamp are you using, do you have a power conditioner, what kind of interface or board are you running the signal into? Sometimes, something as simple as a bad cable or dusty pot can add fuzz or noise to your audio signal. This is more likely to be the case if more than one mic is sounding bad.On the other hand, if these are the only mics that sound bad in your current setup, then it could possibly be a quality control or shipping condition (these mics ride in container ships from China) issue.Personally, I've never had a bad experience with my MXL mics, but a friend of mine who has the 990/991 set had the diaphragm in his pencil mic go out, so it's certainly a possibility. **Q: What is phantom power?** A: Phantom power is a power supply used to power condenser mics. The standanrd voltage on phantom power is 48v, but some mics may vary. **Q: does the bundle come with a shockmount for the 990?** A: No, but there is a set where the 990 comes by itself with a shockmount. Sadly this one does not include a shockmount **Q: 990/991 combo or the v67g for my youtube gaming channel? (i have an audio mixer /w 45-48v phantom power) i am upgrading from my sf-666 mic.** A: Either one of those choices will require phantom power, have a cardio pattern (where the mic picks up), and are XLR They begin to deviate a bit tone wise but you can adjust that, also with two mics you have more variety to how you can capture voice. The V67g come in a pouch while the 990/991 are housed in a hard shell, pelican like case. You may like to know I've recorded podcasts and conversations and the 990 picks up everything in the room which can be good or bad depending on your environment. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Mic at awesome price! *by N***E on March 2, 2011* This mic is definitely sufficient for normal recording, especially if you run it through a vocal effects processor.

This works great for that (just make sure to use a wind screen). Im also the sound tech for my choir class and in the past we have used individual Audix handheld microphones for each singer. However this year we are taking a different approach to mic the singers. We just had an all day gig to sing Christmas songs at all the elementary schools in my town. Ive had some bad luck in the past with using condenser mics for choirs and live sound mainly because of feedback being so easy to get. When setting up for the gig at the schools, I forgot to grab cables to run my EQ so I knew that it was just going to be a wreck. But I decided to give it a try anyway. All of our gigs for that day were in school gyms so that defiantly wasnt going to help with my feedback issues of the past. I used 3 of these mics for a choir of about 25 kids. Ran them into a 6 channel Peavey Mixing board and directly out to 2 QSC K10 active speakers that were used for mains. No EQ except for the 80Hz Cutoff option on the board. I placed the speakers about 10 feet in front of the mics and gave it a shot. To my surprise they didnt feedback AT ALL. Even with the terrible acoustics in the gyms. I was easily able to project the sound of the choir without feedback issues. I was even told by one of the school administrators to turn the volume down at one point. So basically what Im saying is that for the money, these mics are great for many different uses. Whether it is recording at home or micing a choir for a live gig. These mics sound great. We will be buying about 6 more for our spring show in our performing arts center just because they are so cheap. ## Frequently Bought Together - MXL 990/991 Large and Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone Bundle Project/Home Studio Recording | XLR | Cardiod (Champagne) - MXL Mics Microphone Mount (MXL90), Black - Amazon Basics Adjustable Boom Arm Height Microphone Stand with Tripod Base, Up to 85.75 Inches - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1208093-990-991-large-and-small-diaphragm-condenser-microphone-bundle-project](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1208093-990-991-large-and-small-diaphragm-condenser-microphone-bundle-project) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
