Two great mics! I own both, and actually the MXL990 was my first mic, bought it in 2001, I still have it and it sounds amazing. I now have the Rode NT1A and it has become my daily-driver most of the time (I also have the SM7B with a Fethead which I use, depending on the situation). Now, the quality of the 990 has degraded in newer versions, the floor noise is higher now, it's a shame. For people who are just starting, the MXL990 is the best choice, IMO. You can use the extra buck you save in a good preamp and decent interface.

Went thru a few diff preamps and cables before I realized that noise was just my mic! I have the MXL 990 and a similarly priced AKG mic. Both of them hiss the way you showed in this video. Been thinking of upgrading to the Rode because I record a lot of vocals for music and I want to be able to crank the compression on them without bringing up that noise. Also most of my instrument tracks are recorded direct so I get spoiled by the cleanliness of those. That hiss is like the opposite of ASMR for me. Drives me nuts! Thanks for the video.

I used to have an MXL 990, worked like a champ. I used it mostly in live stage productions so the relatively high noise floor wasn't a big deal to me, and it's solid. I've dropped it once from about 1.5m (4.9ft) and it was fine. Still, don't recommend dropping it though.

Very well done, to the point. I have a 13 yr. old 990/991 combo that came with a Pro Tools M-Audio bundle, just pulled it out of a mic case I used when I was still doing live sound. It was somehow with the 57's and 58's, someone (wife) just tossed in the open mic clip/hardware side of the box, that's been full of beer and other stuff after 15yrs in the New Orleans music scene. Checked them all for the first time since '09 and the MXL 990...well, sounded freakin awesome. I like it better than say the AKG 220 which costs at least double. I've listened the best my vocal recording (IMO) and thought about that mic but never purchase another. I should have, to me it sounds better than the NT-1a. The noise should not be a deal breaker. Good job on the video, just subscribed.

That note you quickly mentioned of the 990 being a bit much on the high end is the reason why I prefer the 770. A bit flatter over all out of the box and even comes in a bit cheeper due to not having the pre bundled pencil mic.

Have you checked frequency response charts? 770 has HUGE bump in high freq., far more than 990. 990 chart is otherwise also flatter overall. Plus better s/n ratio.

Hi Mike. Love your videos. When you do a side by side microphone comparison, could you sustain a note when switching between Mic A and Mic B? Like maybe a low hum for bass and an "s" sound for the high end. That way those of us that don't have sensitive hearing can hear the difference better (how it adds color or muddles your voice). Keep up the great work and educating us! More power to you!

I've never seen a group of people so guilty of microphone manslaughter in my life! Could you imagine if those students were that reckless with a Neumann? The Commercial Music Department would go bankrupt! LOL. However - when I broke out on my own, to open my recording studio, the Rode NT1a was one of the first mics I purchased. It sounds good on anything!

I ordered an RK-47 capsule for it that I'll get around to one of these days. I went for the Rode NT1 instead of the NT1a because I like it better for my voice. I'm also rocking my Stellar X2 which makes my voice come alive. Thanks for the many great reviews which have helped me so much with stocking my mic locker. I'm done at this level for dynamic and condenser mics. The rest of my wish list is all high end now.

I just found this channel, I think its great. As a new buyer in the microphone world. It would be great if you did a series on what to get for a variety of price ranges (Including if an AMP is needed). So for example, if you had $100 what would you get? And go up to 200, 300, 400, 500, 750, 1000. I would say the majority of new people (well me anyway), set a price limit they want to spend on capturing their voice, and then look for the best option they can find. Your reviews are great but don't fulfill the need where there is a set budget and you want to know the best option across the market instead of just comparing 2-3 mics at a similar price range and ignoring how much should be spend on additional equipment such as an amp etc

@xaosnox 6 жыл бұрын

Wow. I could really tell what you don't like about he NT1A for your voice. The MXL990 sounds way better for you, but the noise is untenable! I bought a RØDE NT1A, and really wish I would have known about the CAD e100 vintage mic, because I think that could be my "forever until I can get a Sennheiser MKH416" mic, and I've seen quite a few on eBay for less than I paid for the RØDE.I wish I'd had discovered your channel first. What a tremendous resource! I probably should stop plugging the e100 so much, or they'll all get snatched up before I can get my hands on one. I really think it would be a service for you to mention the RØDE NT1 whenever you talk about the anniversary addition because that is a screaming deal and way better than the NT1A because of the smoother frequency response and the quality of the included pop screen and shock mount. I find I have issues with the NT1A because you can't EQ it for presence for even run it though a gentle condenser without ending up with out of control sibilance, at least for my voice. I find I have to use a dynamic EQ and De-Essers layered throughout my effects chain to get a sound I'm happy with.

Hey Mike, love your videos man! I just discovered them about a week ago and I've been watching them everyday. I have a quick question I was hoping youd be able to answer for me. I've been thinking about getting a dynamic mic like the RE320 or Procaster for livestreaming as my cheap condenser is just too harsh on sibilants and picks up all the room noise. I plan on getting a USB interface, and I know pretty much everybody recommends you get a Cloudlifter or Fethead if you're using a broadcast mic. As I understand it after doing some quick research, all I can see that a device like that does is boost the gain of the microphone. So my question is this: what's the difference between using a Cloudlifter or Fethead as opposed to just boosting the gain in software? Is there going to be a noticeable difference in quality for an application like livestreaming? I'd love to see (or hear) your answer to this!

@TheOstorlab 6 жыл бұрын

Hi cbjunior 94. Mike seems to be on hiatus, so I will attempt to answer your question. Yes, there is a difference between using a Cloudlifter/Fethead and just boosting the signal in software. When you use a Cloudlifter or Fethead, you are boosting the signal BEFORE the preamp/interface and your computer. This provides an extra 22-25 Db of very clean amplification. This means that you can drive your interface's preamp less hard and therefore avoid amplifying the noise that all preamps produce (to one extent or another). If you don't use a Fethead or Cloudlifter and don't drive your interface gain hard, you will get a VERY low signal for which you will have to provide a lot of gain in software, which will also amplify the noise inherent to your interface, mic cables, USB signal, and microphone. I'm afraid there is no way around this if you want a clean and audible recording/stream. A recommendation is to treat an area of your room and use a good directional condenser microphone such as the very reasonably priced AT875R short shotgun microphone (www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT875R-Gradient-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B000BQ79W0), which sounds good, is quite directional, and does not require much gain from your interface. If you treat the area behind and above you and keep the mic away from both your reflective desktop and humming computer, you should be able to get a good-sounding signal. There are a lot of reviews for this microphone on KZfaq, so there is ample information about it out there.

Personally I'd like to see a comparison between the Manley Voxbox and the Avalon VT737SP. I'm currently using an Avalon M5 pre amp, but I'm considering buying a channelstrip.

What do you think about the MXL 770? For a bass voice

the case for the rode is a welded case, the MXL case is milled, I could probably make a copy of it on an industrial lathe if i had the CAD data

Now, it's time to get another NT1A to compare with the modified version! While there are still plenty of mic out there to compare, spending a few hundred dollars to get the sound of a $1k mic would be amazing! I will look into.the upgrade folks out there too and see how they stack up with their mods.

Had the NT1-A. Had a 10 year warranty. Yay, 10 years of that horrendous sibilance. :)

yes boss, I was just suggesting ways to make it suit your purpose, where you could eq it after the fact to make it more bassy. I'm not saying the nt1 isn't good

Hey mic, I have been purchasing and returning mics nonstop, I own a AT 2035 and a Behringer to connect to my Mac never picks up that I have a microphone connected
