Thanks Dak & Jim & Kev

I used it recently and found for one thing I do not need to turn the mic pre up as loud so that helps keep the noise down.

Just some notes - I replaced the original tube with an Electro Harmonic tube highly recommend for this mic

The mic sounds GREAT the singers using it noticed that right away.
Without a doubt MXL makes the best cheapest mics I have ever encountered even more so than Rhodes and I like those as well.

This mic has it's own power supply box and the Mogambi seven pin
cable. I run my mics through a very good expensive mic pre I even tried shutting the phantom power off.

When I turn up the volume loud on my mixer I hear the noise it's not detectable in the recordings which is most important but I know it's there so...

I think lots of people are recording with noisy computers in the room and don't even hear what I'm talking about. lol
It's okay though it's still sounding nice on songs, the mic could use a bass roll off but i can take of that on the board.

Still a GREAT mic for $200 bucks! View it below.
