Has anybody tried out the MXL 4000 mic? Thoughts?

Thanks
James

i"ll you 50 bucks but only cause i need one

Hmmm sure looks pretty. $200 on musicians friend and includes a free 603S mic. I own a pair of 603's and love 'em.



And interesting thread about this mic here:

I'm curious about how it's a "musician's friend" only model based on their http://www.mxlmics.com/condenser_mic/mxl2010/mxl2010.htm

Also compares it in quality but lower price than the Sterling Audio ST77.

The Blue Bluebird might be a better bang for the buck at $300 musicians friend cuz it has a lower self noize and neat wood box even!

Bluebirds are nice

Yeah, that's all good - but are they made in China?

Just busting your balls, Dan. I love Chinese. They're good in what they do - especially at those manually factoring handjobs.

Hi all, thought I would add some info here. All MXL mics are designed in the USA at Marshall Electronics. The mics are manufactured in Marshall's own factory in Asia or here in the US like the M3 or V6. There are a number of similar models with different model numbers so that the retailers don't butt heads. Marshall Electronics is also the North America distributor for Mogami cable. They are not the same Marshall work makes guitar amplifiers.

FWIW, I've A/B'b a MXLV67G ($99) against a Manley Gold Reference mic. The differences were subtle. I didn't hear a $3000 difference. Not that the expensive mic wasn't fabulous, but the cheapie mics are getting really good.
