Buy Low Price From Here Now

Featuring Class A FET circuitry, the new 2010 is a pressure gradient condenser microphone with a large 25 mm (1-inch) gold sputtered diaphragm that delivers a wide dynamic range with extremely low noise. As a multi-pattern instrument with omni, cardioid, and figure 8 polar patterns, the 2010 is the right tool for the job when it comes to versatility. With a sweet and silky transparent sound quality, the new 2010 is equally at home when being used to record vocals or acoustic instruments.

 "Good for the price" 2010-01-23
By D. Wyatt (Virginia, USA)
For a relatively inexpensive microphone that doesn't require any external equipment to convert it to USB, I think this is a good buy. I don't count the headphones in the equation since I think they are of poor quality, but I didn't care. I bought it for the mic.



I've only used it with Camtasia, and the audio levels seem low and I get lots of "popping" when I talk when I turn up the level on the mic too much. The levels can be adjusted after the fact in the software, but I didn't expect to run into those issues.



The documentation is almost exclusively about using Audacity, but has almost nothing about the mic itself. For instance, there's a black side and a gold side to the actual mic. Why is that? Do they have different sound pickup patterns? Which should I use? Should I angle it or set it upright when I talk for the best results?



I'm sure an audio expert would know the answers to these questions, but then again, an audio expert probably wouldn't be buying this mic, either. So I've just played with it to see what works.



For semi-pro recording of narration or podcasts by a non-audiophile, this mic works fine.

 "Great sound" 2009-07-26
By Carrie Heeter
I use this mic without the headset, for everyday Skyping and to teach online. Audio from my speakers doesn't interfere or cause feedback during live conversations. So the mic provides hands free, high quality audio.



When I purchased and started using it, people were happily surprised at how well my voice came through. An essential tool not just for podcasting but for other online audio as well.

 "Headphone Adapter not included" 2009-07-02

Alesis USB Mic Podcasting Kit with Headphones and Software



I needed a good quality microphone to produce some powerpoint presentations using Camtasia. The microphone easily installs and functions beautifully. It also works great with speech to text applications. For the applications I use, a boom microphone with a headset is uncomfortable and I do not always want to monitor the recording as it is being produced. The headphones are ok and I had a bit of a problem getting the computer configured to work with them with the microphone but once I did they work fine. A good product at a reasonable price.

 "Nice and sturdy, works as expected, no unique calibration" 2009-09-14
By Brian Steele (Grenada, West Indies)
I purchased this microphone for use with my laptop, TrueRTA software and the MXL USB MicMate for frequency response measurement. I am quite satisfied with the results. The microphone is not provided with a unique specific calibration curve however. Instead, a general calibration curve is provided on the box.



At the moment Parts Express is offering what appears to be a calibrated version of this mic for a few extra $$, which may be a better value to the DIYer.

For room analysis this is a great mic especially for traveling or in situations where using an Earthwork's mic (6x the cost of this) could be damaged.

i got this mic to do room measurements using room analysis software. apparently you really should use a true omni for these types of measurements. this mic is a true omni. it is also pretty flat (again crucial for room analysis). and the price is right.



you could use this mic for other applications but you should know its very noisy.



if you don't have any true omnis this may be a cheap way to get introduced to them.

 "Great price on TOP quality mics!" 2009-12-31
By Jeffrey L. Horton
These microphones are VERY high quality. SM57's are clear, clean and bulletproof... and after I put the Beta-52 in my kick drum, the 18s shook harder and the 15s punched tighter. The reason for my review, however, isn't to rave about these mics (they speak for themselves, do some research), but to rave about the PRICE. Just buying 3 SM57s individually will cost you $300. Add the Mic clips at $40 a piece, and you're at $420 already, and that doesn't even count the Beta 52, which is now cheaper than free! (and it's the most expensive mic in the kit!). What a deal. I bought 2. At first I wasn't sure I could use the other Beta 52, but I couldn't see paying MORE to buy the other 57s I needed... and as it turns out, that "extra kick mic" sounds GREAT on my 18" floor tom! If you need mics and want quality and aren't rich... BUY THIS SET!

 "The best mic kit for drummers on a budget." 2009-12-08
By Steven (Colorado, USA)
I'll be honest - I'm picky with music gear. It always seems like I find annoying faults with almost any music gear I buy and it's probably my own fault because I set expectations too high and I don't usually have enough cash to buy what I really want. I tend to do what most people in my situation do - look for the best bang for the buck. I guess I just expect too much bang.



This time things were a bit different. My original price point for drum mics was $200.00 but I kept reading posts on various message boards where people upgraded to this mic kit and wished they would have just done that in the first place rather then spending $200.00 now for so-so mics and then later spending more on something better, like these mics. I bit the bullet and decided to get something more mid-range right out of the gate. What I didn't expect was how blown away I would soon be! These mics are AWESOME!



You get 3 SM57s and a legendary Beta 52A. You also get a great hard-shell case and all of the hardware to hook up the SM57s (you will probably need a mini-boom stand for the Beta). Hooking everything up is a snap.



I like playing a 4 piece kit so this mic kit is perfect. I mic my high tom, low tom, snare and bass drum. 5 piece players can get away by miking both high toms with a single mic or if you have 2 floor toms you might need a separate mic stand to get in between the toms (or you could just buy another SM57 for a hundred bucks).



The SM57s pick up the toms amazingly well. I really don't see the need to ever upgrade, I am 100% happy with these as tom mics. The Beta 52 is nothing short of stunning. I still can't believe how good this mic is!



One great thing about these mics is how versatile they are. The SM57s work amazing for toms, great for snare but they also work really well for miking other instruments like guitars. Please check out YouTube and search for "Shure SM57" - you will find that plenty of people use this mic to record guitars and other instruments. The 57 is good for voice as well but not amazing. The Beta 52 is amazing for bass drums but I was absolutely floored when I miked my band-mates bass guitar with this - It sounds 100% professional! I really couldn't believe it. I use only these mics for all my home-recording (except voice). Currently I rely on my tom mics to pick up cymbals (which works decently) but If you want to really pick up your cymbals you will need a couple overheads.



If you are looking for mics on the cheap then do yourself a favor and spend a little more for this kit. I was worried that after spending $400.00 on mics I would have buyers remorse but that isn't the case. I am blown away. It seems like just the Beta 52 alone would be a $400+ mic - it's just such a great mic. If you purchase these mics individually you would spend about $500 and you wouldn't get the mounting hardware or the case. This is a STEAL - even when it's not on sale!



You will not do better for $400.00 so stop searching around already! Yes, there are better mics out there but this is a heck of a kit for a home studio on a budget I assure you.

 "Good mics, great price." 2009-11-08
By M. A. Lane (Seattle, WA USA)
If you're doing live sound or a budget, or just starting to get into decent recording gear, this is definitely not a bad place to start. You can put an SM57 in front of just about anything and get a usable sound. A lot of people love them on snare's and guitar cabs, and get fantastic sounds from them. I'm sure you could get BETTER sound from other mics, but it's a very versatile mic, and is a great bang for your buck. It would never hurt to have 3 in your mic locker... especially if you're doing live sound. I haven't used mine live so I can't comment on the included rim mounts as I use stands in the studio, but they seem like they'd get the job done.



Given the choice, I'd probably prefer to own an AKG D112 over the Beta 52... but I couldn't pass up the price of this pack. I have both, and use them for different things, depending on the sound I want. I'm definitely not complaining about the Beta 52. I'm super happy with it, and it definitely has its place in the studio and venue. The Beta 52 is less expensive... especially if you buy it in this pack. So why limit yourself to one kick mic? Start with this pack, and if you feel like you need another mic down the road when you have extra cash, get a different one. The more the better.





If your goal is to mic a drum kit on a budget, get these and a budget pair of small diaphragm condensers for overheads (MXL 603s perhaps), and you're set.





If you know exactly what you want and don't mind spending a bit more, buy different mics. If you're on a budget (studio OR live), are just getting into the realm of decent gear and need a starting point, or happen to be searching for a few SM57's and a Beta 52, this is the package for you!

 "Drum Mic kit" 2009-02-06
By James Spot (California, MD)
If you are playing in a large venue and putting drums through the PA or recording, this is one of the two drum mic kits to get. The other kick drum mic to consider is the Audix D6, but the Shure B52 is used by many professionals, too. As far as the SM57's in the it go, they are the ultimate desert island mic - good on anything. The rim connectors to hold the mics work fine - you will need a small stand to attach the B52 with for the kick drum. Overall, this is one of the best kits out there at a reasonable price - it comes complete with a nice carry case as well.

MXL is proud to announce the newest addition to the V67 series, the V67Q Stereo microphone. This mic is the perfect addition to the home recording or studio environment.

 "Very good microphone for live stereo recording" 2009-03-07
By P. Verlee (Bangor, ME United States)
I bought this microphone to record piano music, chamber music and choral concerts. This is a serious professional microphone at a very reasonable price. It is stereo, and requires phantom power, which right away limits the devices you record on. You basically have to use pro equipment. It comes with a 5 pin stereo XLR connector cable which is only 10 feet long, You can get longer 5 pin stereo XLR connectors from musiciansfriend, Amazon or B and H photo/video. I use a Marantz CDR-300 recorder, but you could also use a marantz 310, any digital multi-track recorder or pro-tool/mac/digidesign interface box setup. (just make sure the interface box has two XLR inputs). The advantage to using a stereo mike is that it only requires one stand and one cable, and this mike sounds fantastic. You do have to back up from whatever you are recording, because it is very sensitive. Watch your levels when you are recording. It records the entire frequency spectrum, very quiet mike, but also very sensitive, you will hear every sniff and cough. It is a neutral mic, warm enough, and doesn't have a digital "edge" to it. I'm very happy with it. The color scheme is a little loud (I call it my Notre Dame Leprechaun Bling-Bling microphone) but once you get past that, it's a serious piece of electronic recording hardware. My previous microphone was a $200 Sony ECM-957 and I've also used a Rode NT-4 (~$600) this is as good as the Rode, but at one third the price. The MXL V67Q is the same price as the Sony but much better, wider spectrum, more neutrl and quieter. You should get a shock mount (I use the MXL 57) and a good tripod (I have an On-stage tripod, the end of the tripod accepts the MXL 57 shock mount). In summary, you can't do much better than this if you are trying to record classical music in a live venue with a digital recorder that has phantom power and XLR connectors. Highly recommended. for more info, go to www.mxlmics.com.
