Questions & Answers

Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?JONATHAN K : Best bang for the buck, at this time, for a large diaphragm condenser microphone. It is very sensitive to background noise, so you need to have a sound controlled environment. I loved the sound quality, but I could not use it in my situation. It picked up too much noise from other parts of the building. I switched to a less sensitive microphone. Not as rich sounding, but no background noise to ruin a recording.

About MXL 2003A Studio

You'll capture every nuance of your acoustic performances with the MXL 2003A Large Capsule Low-noise Condenser Microphone, a staple in the recording industry for its exceptional clarity and precision. Designed for critical recording sessions where every detail matters, this microphone excels in reproducing the intricate sounds of acoustic guitars, vocals, and other instruments that demand a pristine audio capture.

The MXL 2003A features a large, pressure-gradient condenser capsule that ensures a wide frequency response and superior sound quality. The microphone's cardioid polar pattern focuses on the sound source directly in front of it, effectively minimizing background noise and isolating the desired audio.
