The MXL 4000 Multi-Pattern is a condenser microphone designed around a Class-A discrete FET mic amp specially chosen to match its large diaphragm capsule. The capsule itself has been sized and tuned to provide a silky and airy top end with a full, warm midrange reminiscent of vintage microphones. Hand selected internal components create a sound that enhances both vocal and instrument performances.Using the polar patternsTo take advantage of the versatility of the MXL 4000's polar patterns, here are some miking tricks of the pros. Figure-8Figure-8 mics pick up sound equally well from front and rear. So, if you're looking for a rich vocal sound with the added ambience of room tone to add depth and spaciousness, use the figure-8 pattern and have your vocalist sing into one side while the other picks up the reflections of the room. Only do this if you have a good-sounding room. You can also use the figure-8 pattern for isolation from other instruments. For example, if you're miking drums and want to give the hi-hat it's own track, position the MXL 4000 so that the side of the figure-8, where rejection is greatest, is pointing towards the snare while the front or rear of the mix faces the hat. Do the same if you're recording a singer-guitarist who's playing an acoustic while singing. You need two figure-8 mics for this one. Position the vocal mic so that the side is facing the guitar, and the guitar mic so that the side of the figure-8 points towards the singer's mouth. Now both singer and guitar are isolated. Again, make sure you do this in a room that sounds good, because the back side of the mic will be picking up the room. OmniIn many cases, the least used, but best-sounding of all the polar patterns. Omni has very little off-axis coloration, which means that sounds entering the sides of the mic sound just as good as sounds entering the front. If you have a great-sounding room, by all means, try omni before anything else. Omni gives your recordings the impression of

This review is from: MXL 4000 Multi-Pattern FET Studio Condenser Microphone
It's sad that MXL discontinued the 4000 because it's an absolutely fantastic mic and the price is amazing for the quality you get. Get one while they're still around and you will never be disappointed with it.
The get right to the point, this mic sounds excellent and is extremely cool-looking, and the 3 polar patterns, bass rolloff, and -10dB pad switches make it as versatile a mic as you can get. It's extremely sensitive yet quiet and has terrific resistance to handling noise and vibrations and is ruggedly constructed. The mic comes with a large windscreen, a very sturdy shockmount, and a really nice-looking storage box. It is a professional mic both in appearance and sound quality.
This large diaphragm condenser mic has excellent frequency response and sounds great on everything I've tried, and vocals sound superb; extremely rich and smooth with precise clairty and never harsh or muddy. The sound quality of the 4000 easily beats other microphones much more... Read more

I want to preface this review with the fact that I have been a practicing musician for 20 years, however I have only started in the recording field for a few years.
With that said I have played around with a lot of mics in the studio. My favorite hands down (for low priced-higher quality) microphone has been the Audio Technica AT 4040 Large Condenser mic. It has been the most versatile mics I have ever heard. Vocals are incredible, drums, very solid, and hard to beat for recording guitar (Acoustic or electric).
Hands down the most versatile mic ever! Oops.. until now! The MXL 4000 blew my wig back (figure of speech)! This mic is absolutely INCREDIBLE for the money! Unless you plan on spending over $1000 you are throwing money away unless it was spent on this mic!
At first when I heard about the three patterns (Omni, Figure 8 and Direct) I was VERY skeptical. I had it in my head that when you offer that much in one mic something has to suffer... Read more

I've owned this mic for a couple years and I love it. I always use it for vocals. Everything else has already been said by others. +1 I got mine from Musicians friend and it included a free MXL603s. Its worth the money even without the free gift though.

The MXL-V67G sports a gold plated round grill and distinctive vintage brass body design. It was designed for vocals, so this mic will surely stand out in any crowd. The V67G sounds as golden as its looks. Its 1" gold sputtered, 6-micron diaphragm, FET preamp and transformer balanced output combine to create an open, vintage sound. The double screen, round grill, also helps to produce a smooth, even frequency response. It comes complete with stand adapter.
The Nady SSPF-4 microphone pop filter has an integrated spider shock mount with 8 elastic suspension points to prevent vibration and significantly reduces the noise transmitted from the mic stand. The Nady SSPF-4 mic filter also features a pinch clamp holder than fits any microphone with a diameter of 38–53mm.

This easily hooked up to my mic stand and provided adequate shock absorbtion and pop filtering. Very rarely does it ever need adjusting, I prefer having the pop filter mounted to the shock absorber for space saving.

This review is from: Nady SSPF-4 Spider Shockmount with Integrated Pop Filter (Electronics)
I'm loving this pop filter! It looks professional in design, and feels very sturdy on the mic stand. The built in shock mount is definitely a plus. I like it because some beginners try to grab the mic in the studio when recording vocals. This immediately let's them know to just speak into the microphone. Also offers the option of removing the pop screen if you want. Amazon was great in conjunction with the seller! My item arrived lightning fast! Amazon is like music to my ears, and that's why their products are in my studio. Simply THE BOMB!!!!!
