The one I use is for vocals. As a result of my happiness, I have now acquired five of them. I was satisfied with the purchase for the money that I paid
A close look at MXL's specs shows that this mic requires 48 volts of Phantom Power, so it's not uncommon that condenser mics require Phantom Power, but it's well beyond the capabilities of the Behringer Xenyx 302 Interface. An electrical mixer with a voltage of 15 volts. Amazon's search box can be filled with a number of solutions if you enter the words "48V Phantom Power.". According to Behringer, we should take the following measures You can plug the mic into a Behringer PS400 using an XLR cable and then plug another XLR cable from the PS400 into the mic input of the Xenyx mixer, if phantom power is needed with the 302 or 502.
It is necessary to connect the mic to your PC with a USB interface and provide it with Phantom Power. A device such as the "MXL MICMATE PRO XLR To USB Preamp with Gain" would do the job for me. To send an adequate number of kbps, you will also need a PC with a sound card that can handle the quality you need and an Internet connection that can transmit (upload) the amount of data you are planning Wishing you success and a great recording experience!
Selected User Reviews For MXL Mics 770 Cardioid Condenser Microphone
In the old NW700, I had to equalize a lot to get the rich, warm tone back. I don't need to do that with this one. That one is a far cry from this one. It would be recommended to buy a pop filter or windscreen along with this as well to cut down on noise as well as pause the plosives.
Having good equipment for making YouTube videos is a critical aspect of making a professional video. Aside from my musical abilities, I sing and play guitar. On occasion, I have to record practice files for myself for memorization, or record things to prepare for an audition, or to record for just for fun. This mic has exceeded my expectations for the price so far! This mic comes with a nice little bundle of accessories which include a shock mount, a hard case for both and a number of resources and manuals on how to use the mic to the fullest extent possible. They were especially helpful for me and I found them very easy to read. In the end, the sound quality is really, really good, especially if you think about what you pay. It was a good decision for me to take this chance. Don't expect it to do you any favors in the studio if you're not well prepared, but it will make you sound great if you're well prepared. In fact, if you don't know your music or are playing/singing flat, then that's exactly what will be recorded, Sadly, it does not have software to allow you to edit what you record. I never expected it to but some people seem to be wondering if it does. My use of the software and what I bought to go with it are as follows Please note - Cable from H&M that is 3ft long for Audio 2000 -Technologies for
This microphone boom stand is from the Samson MK 10 series. Here's how you can use a Zoom H4N to record audio (which I already had).
If you are using a Zoom H4N, just follow these steps Please note - *Input 1 will light up, even if input 2 is lit (both inputs will light up) plug your mic cable into input 1, then press 1 (both will light up)
- To provide phantom power for the microphone, select the menu option input, scroll to and select "Phantom Power" and select it. Whenever you are asked if you'd like 24 or 48 watts for this mic, choose Please note - By going back to the menu options, selecting "Input" and scrolling down, and selecting "Mono Mix", make sure you turn on both left and right channels (you need to do this if you wish to hear your recordings in both right and left ears of headphones) as well. br> Here is your chance to enjoy recordings! With my Zoom H4N, I simply record to an SD card and pop it The actual editing is done using Adobe Audition, a piece of software I love. I hope this helps someone looking for a good mic to record vocals, guitars, pianos, ukuleles (these are just the instruments I play) on a budget or someone trying to connect a condenser mic to a Zoom H4N recorder. The mic was NOT provided or discounted, and I did not get it for free. The price I paid for it was full price.
It allows me to record music and podcasts easily. I've used it for SEVERAL recordings, and I'm thrilled with how well it Despite this, I HIGHLY suggest that you go on YouTube, with a quality pair of headphones, and listen to the reviews of DIFFERENT users. My attention was drawn very closely to the performances of every candidate with their different voices after making a list of possible candidates. Between this microphone and an AT2020, this was the best option for me. In the end, it was definitely the right choice for me. I admit that I tried to save the extra $20, but it was the right decision for me. You should be aware that you need 48 V phantom power if you are using a condenser microphone for the first time. For you to hear anything out of this soup can-sized beauty, you do need to pair it with a preamp. Based on personal preference, I chose Saramonic SmartRig+ 2. The third channel is an XLR. It only takes a 5mm mixer to finish the job. I just wanted to point out that these two items go well together. This mixer is especially useful for anyone who wants a great mobile set-up, since virtually any smartphone or tablet will work with the MXL 770. You may want to consider the iRig Pre if you only need to record one channel at a time. I hope.
I was surprised at how low the price is for such a high-quality mic. There's no denying it, this is one of the most straightforward plug and play microphones around. It goes on and on, but I have done recordings with U87s and high-end blue mics. During my time in the studios, I was frustrated with the quality of my vocals. A lack of air, a lack of bass, a lack of fullness, and an absence of power. There is a long list of examples. Within 5 minutes, I was able to get the microphone to cut through the mix without a boom while still capturing the bass in my voice. When I use this mic, I feel as though I'm cheating. It's not working. I've tried and tried to find what it's wrong with but nothing comes up. Audiophiles are generally more expensive, and the need to match price with sound quality is not always the best choice. In other cases, you have no choice but to face the consequences. There's no doubt that this mic is great. There has been a lot of feedback from non-musicians using this mic, and I wanted to address concerns people have about not sounding good unless they use a Neumann. The truth is, this is As far as the interface, preamp, ADA, and the like go, I recommend a great one. Regarding the professional aspect of this mic, there's no sacrificing quality for price. My biggest concern is the frequency response chart which is a lot higher-end than I expected. The sound is not audible. Voices seem to get more air when it's added. My focus is to have a good vocal sound, so I probably wouldn't use it on overheads for cymbals. It seems like a lot of MXL mics have a high level of As it turns out, this does not surprise me. My wish is to see more reviews of this microphone written by professionals. Plus, it's not like this matters at all. The design is beautiful, however. This gold and black combination looks stylish and isn't cheaply made.
The microphone is cool, I even make up voices and talk to myself using it because I don't have anyone to talk to. When you can make multiple layers of recordings and fake phone calls so that your loneliness doesn't make you cry, you won't feel like a loser and will be able to feel less lonely. It picked up everything except for the smell, which is good because I ate a lot of nacho cheese and burped once. This is a good mic, get it if you need to record something quickly. However, it doesn't work with country music as we can't listen to any more trash.
