A recording microphone is the most crucial subject for producing top-quality audio sound. Nowadays, It’s a little bit tough to buy the best quality microphone because there are many microphones in the market. The bass response of this microphone is incredible, and it features an option of adding a high pass filter; hence, the record becomes super clear for the best audio production.

If you’re out looking for a cheap condenser mic that can handle more than just vocals, then we highly recommend the MXL 770.

Today we have the two MXL brothers at our disposal – the 770 and the 990 and we are going to answer the question that has been quite a debating factor – which one is a better condenser microphone? The reduced size of the MXL 770’s diaphragm is perhaps the most noticeable change when comparing the MXL 770 specs sheets of both microphones.

Adding to the list of differences, the MXL 770 is capable of handling louder sounds better than the MXL 990, thanks to its increased maximum sound pressure level handling capacity. Pros and cons MXL 770 Pros You can get lost in the huge number of options in the market. But if you want a solid Microphone that will server you many years, get the MXL 770 and you won’t regret it. This is a great starting microphone for newbies with no prior recording experience. MXL 770 Price: As a result this the Audio-Technica AT2020 can easily deliver a better bass performance with more solid and full lows than that of the MXL 770. The MXL 770 has a 0.87’’ capsule, which is an odd choice. Small diaphragms go from 0.25’’ to 0.5’’, and they are capable of recording subtle sounds with extra precision and crips. The Audio-Technica AT2020 has a sturdy finish unlike the conventional fragility of condenser microphones. The body is made out of solid cast metal and the capsule is protected by its firm wire mesh.

Bargain for professional use. I m finally glad to experience a mic that everybody can afford and does its job perfectly. Its ideal for any studio use. Vocal, Percussion, Instrument you name it. Its a rappers delight for project studio, it produces very low noise when turned on, with a simple gate compressor you can have a very clean hook. It has low cut and -10dB option for additional flexibility.Notice: I also have 10x more expensive condenser mic in my studio, but when i compared it to this one there is so little difference! (tested with same takes, same singer, and ambience)

That means the quality can’t go as high as an interface, as the audio quality of an audio interface is always higher than what USB mics can deliver. And though most people wouldn’t hear much of a difference, the extra quality gives you more room to work on post-production. Although the MXL 770 really does have a wide dynamic range, it favors high-end frequencies a little more. It also tends to produce a scooped mid-range at times, depending on the source. For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. There is no high pass filter switch in the MXL 990, but you can get a three-way positionable pad switch, where you can select between Hi (0 dB), Medium (-5 dB) and Lo (-10 dB).

Vocals definitely sound brighter on the 770. The 990 also sounds slightly muddy, which is confirmed by higher peaks in the bass region. Overall, I can describe the sounds it captures as clear, crips, and sparkly. Also, the MXL 770 achieves these qualities, without introducing noises or sibilance sounds, which is typical for microphones at this price range. With the presence of the attenuator switch plus the low-frequency roll-off, you have some extra options. For example, you can turn on the bass cut to record deep voices or acoustic strings, and so the result has more presence at the mids. If you want a warm bass end and a clean midrange, you may accomplish that using post eq. 2. Sensitivity The 770 is a high-quality condenser microphone that can be used for many different things. Singers love it because it has a strong low-frequency response and a clear high-end. We employ a high-quality FET pre-amp and a transformerless balanced output for a broad dynamic range and low noise. Are MXL microphones any good?

MXL, as you probably know, is a giant microphones manufacturer. Its microphones have been always well received among recording enthusiasts mainly because of their good quality at very affordable prices. As with any condenser mic, a pop filter is highly recommended to prevent pops with certain letters such as “P” and “T”. Instead, you can develop a good mic technique by not speaking directly into the mic but rather to an angle. The MXL 770 Look and Feel: We all start at some point. But, most of beginners are always hesitant to bite the bullet and just start as they fancy themselves only with a very expensive, high-end studio equipment and don’t want to start with “cheap” stuff. The MXL 990, on the other hand, is larger than standard at 1.26 inches, fully 0.39 larger than its smaller sibling. Capsule size doesn’t necessarily have any inherent advantage, one size versus another. Plenty of excellent small capsule condenser mics have full frequency response.

In comparison to the MXL 770, the high-end response curve of the 990 is more leveled out. But oddly enough, the 990 is known to be the one with shrillness in this range. It seems hard to justify the higher price tag on the 990 when compared to the 770. It’s a bright mic, and may be over the top for some applications. The MXL 770 is no exception. It’s the small brother for the very famous MXL 990. Its price/performance ratio is incredible. Performers love this mic for the sound it produces. These characteristics of the MXL 770 contribute massively towards reducing the low-frequency noises, especially caused by breathing and wind vibrations. To get on with the proceedings, let's peep into the physical aspects of both the microphones and see which one of them woos us with its looks!
