Yamaha Mixing Console
I’m not a huge audiophile or anything, but this mic is awesome! I’m using it to record my wife singing. She’s classically trained and has a particular requirement for quality, and this mic meets and exceeds that requirement. I have it connected to a Presonus TubePre amp via monster cables and to a sound blaster Audigy 2 ZS from there, using Cubasis as the DAW. It’s a good setup for small time recording.
What Equip. will stop the hum Pc Recording Studio I’m getting on my pc recording studio?

This microphone is very easy to use (just plug and go!). Some of the extras that come with it are not the greatest including the desktop stand which is pretty cheap and so small that it isn’t even that practical. The microphone itself, though, works fine and is worth it for the money if you aren’t looking to record at a very high level. I used it to record voice overs for a play and it worked just fine.

Nice solid feeling microphone, but would not appear as a sound input choice in 5 different Macintosh MacBook Pro (including unibodies) computers when plugged into USB port. Console error logs showed that the device could not be enumerated by the OSX USB family software. So, this mike is unusable under OSX.
It does show up on a HP Touchsmart, but for Mac users, this seems to be a problematic choice of microphone

This microphone is as described, and I highly recommend it for the home-studio enthusiast. It was completely “plug & play” on my XP laptop and I was recording immediately with no hang-ups or need for extra hardware drivers. The mic picks up high and low frequencies nicely, but I recommend buying a windscreen to cut down on “P- pops.” The carrying case is durable and the foam inlay protects all the components in seperate compartments. A well-designed package, overall.MXL Studio 1 USB Microphone with Headohone Jack, Desktop Stand, USB Cable, and Carrying Case

This is a wonderful microphone. I use it to record interviews in the field instead of a shotgun set up. It is more hassle to use because it requires phantom power. But it provides a clean, clear, warm voice print.
I also plan to use it to record my children’s musical performances here at home. So for home concerts and for my field work, this mic works for me.

I tried to post a review before, but I’m thinking I didn’t specify I was over 13, so it didn’t go through. I’m 55. I bought two of these on the advice of my equipment supplier, who has never lead me wrong before. He didn’t lead me wrong this time either. I’ve used these on acoustic guitar, backing vocals, spoken word for a radio show, percussion and guitar cabinets. For the money, I’ve not found anything as versatile. I wouldn’t put them everywhere I’d put a SM57, but they are purported to take high spl’s well. I just didn’t want to break something I use so much. I bought two more as well as a USB version.

If you are looking at this, you know it’s really cheap for a condenser microphone. Probably about as little as you can spend for anything of quality. It does not have a roll-off for low frequencies, or any other switchable pad, but it is built like a tank.
I found that it sounds kind of weak by itself, but with a decent preamp it can sound pretty good.
