Compared it head to head with my MXL 992. The 992 had a brighter tone. But, the 190 captured the 12 string tone perfectly, as well as male vox. Female vox sounded better thru 992. After trying everything I could get my hands on (amped electrics, acoustics, bongos, vox, etc.) I think the 992 sounds more 'produced' but the 190 sounds more 'live'. This is a must have for anyone serious about recording.

I bought the MXL 190 looking for a mike with an open, airy sound and it delivers beautifully. I have an AKG Perception 420 that I use for just about everything. The AKG has a more up front sound and is also a very good value for the price. But sometimes you need a studio mike with that airy sound and the MXL 190 is just the ticket. Sounds as good a mikes costing much more. It is very quiet and sounds especially good on female vocals. I have not tried it on anything but vocals.

This microphone is beautiful. It's very nicely constructed and seems very durable. Especially with MXL's three year warrenty... Sound wise, it is crystal clear. It sounds just right, not too bright. And with it's -10db attenuation and a roll off, it makes this microphone very flexible. I have used it in three sessions on acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and a drum overhead. and on each instument it sounds as though i have taken the instrument and just plaed it into my computer. This mic also ships with a flight case and huge shockmount. As some would put it, a great "bang for your buck". I strongly recommend purchasing this microphone any day.
