I would not waste money on a MXL. A pal of mine sold his after a week as he could not get any decent recordings from it. It may be half the price of a K2 but it sucks big time. It's single pattern lacks controllability and is very very muddy. It is probably one of the worst unreliable Chinese mics available as it produces lots of hiss and crackles even after 30min warm up. SSSS SOUNDS LIKE SYLVESTER THE CAT. Do not take my word for it read ALL of the reviews at Harmony Central...here is a link... http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Microphone/product/MXL/V69+Mogami/10/1I prefer an SE2200a at about the same price. The SE mic is a bit thin and lacks the richness of top end tubes but what do you expect comparing hundreds to thousands. For value for money even a SM57 is preferable to a MXL. Lots of the rave reviews you mention are from people with vested interest so you can hardly expect them to slag it off.
