A very good buy
This is an excellent microphone for its price.
This is currently used in a radio studio for recording voice tracks. When connected up to compressor etc it does sound much better.
The mic does give a very warm sound, which works very well with vocals and spoken word.
For the rather cheap price, it comes with a decent shock mount and a solid mount. The shock mount makes a world of difference, and allows us to move the mic around on its boom without the listeners hearing anything.
If you're looking for a good microphone that comes with good accessories, then this is the one for you.

Good Home Studio Microphone
I bought this microphone as I wanted a large diaphragm microphone for my home studio and I have seen good reviews on this one.
Sound wise this microphone performs very well - for the money. I stress, I think there is not a better microphone of this type on the market for the money; although there are better microphones you just have to pay a whole lot more.
I have used for vocals, percussion and acoustic guitar recording and all seem true recordings.
The small locking nut that holds the housing at an angle has a tendency to slip however if you are using as a static vocal microphone then this should not be too much of a problem.
Overall I quite like this microphone for sound and quality, so for budget home studio this is a good buy, for professional studios you may want to spend a bit more.

MXL 990
A good looking product. Well packaged in a plastic hard case, with firm foam padding holding the unit in place and with support cradles all fitted into the box. For a low cost microphone it performs well. I am using it for home studio work, as a vocals microphone, for traditional music. The audio clarity is good with no apparent colouring, and sensitivity was good. In a session the pick up off the rear of the cardiod was a little higher than I would have liked in an open studio, but did not present a problem in practice. This would not be an issue in a vocals box. Excellent value for money for those not having a large budget and I would not hesitate to reccomend it.

Good quality, good value
I would recommend this microphone to anyone wanting reasonable quality at a low price. I am using it for a live Youtube chat show and it works well with good sound and small size which makes it less obtrusive for tv work than most others. There is one downside. (Very) low noise is detectable but most definitely not enough to reject this microphone. Ours competes well with the Neumann u87 and Rode 1000 in the show! We haven't used it on music yet. They say you get what you pay for but I'd say you get a bit more quality than you would normally expect for this price.

A nice mic for the price
This one actualy sounds ok. An open sound. Not so smooth as a high end tube mic, but certainly usable. Better sounding then those old Rode NT1's when they first came out.

good for this price
I bouhght this mic for mobile recording projects. I use wa87 normally in my studio. I can say that mic is very surprising for its price. Flat response, not too harsh/high boost. It gives very natural results on my instrument or vocal recordings. I recommend for it for beginner and mobile workers.

Perfect sound
It is an excellent microphone, very good for those who want a clean sound, good sound quality and very good for a studio. I use it daily and it never disappoints me. I like it a lot because it has good handling.

great at the price
A great mic at this price - it is a little bright and can give some harshness with some voices at the top end. Useful for miking acoustics. Recommended.
