Compares Very Well

I own 4 of these (and 2 603s). They're absolutely worth every penny as is, but I've had all mine upgraded with better capacitors (a mod you can find online). The upgraded capacitors truly make these as useful as any mic in the locker. The sound that can come from upgraded 603s and 604s causes me to seriously reconsider any super-expensive mic purchase.

Can't beat MXL!

I have a pair of these that I have used for everything from drum overheads to acoustic guitar micing to vocal micing.

They sound great in any application - the interchangeable capsules being a BIG plus.

End comment: You can't beat MXL for a ratio of price to quality, and these mics are no exception!

recording with 604's

Had one mxl 604 and an mxl cube for about a year and can't find a placement that sounds bad yet. Using them for recording acoustic guitars and vocals, both close and distant.

Cheap.......Awesome!

I have two of theses mics. They come in a nice box with velvet and an extra omni capsule if you want to use the mic overhead instead of direct. I've connected them to an ART Studio Tube Preamp, dialed in the line voltage on my PA head and turned up the output on the preamps, rolled off the bass.....and you have a real, live, inexpensive, incredible sound on stage. These mics, while they may look cheap from these pictures are a blessing for those of us who can't spend $1000+ for a Beyer pencil mic. All Thumbs Up!!
