 Best USB Mic on the Market for Voice-Over Artists Jun 27, 2010
For years I've been working with traditional XLR cardioid condenser mics (love my Neumann TLM) but I've had to travel a lot lately, and humping the XLR cables, pre-amp, and heavy mics through airports and hotels has gotten to be a real bother, so I started The Hunt for a Great USB Mic.
Now, there are good USB mics out there for under $100, and Blue's Snowball is adequate. At ~$70 you get what you pay for. It is ok for podcasting, if you aren't too picky about sound quality. I had one shipped to me, didn't like that background hum, sent it back thinking it was a problem with the mic, and got another one that sounded exactly the same. (And yes, I read all the instructions and advice and made all the adjustments. I even tried it on Mac, Laptop, and PC--so spare me the "oh did you try this, and you're an idiot because you didn't try that" Snowball fanboy snarkiness ;).
So, when I returned the Snowball, I considered getting Blue's Yeti, but it's sheer size disqualified it -- the mic is way too big and heavy to be considered remotely portable, and since I like to record standing-up instead of sitting down, I worried that it would be too heavy for my boom.
Having eliminated Blue's mics, I tried the Samson G Track at ~$120 and the AudioTechnica AT2020 at ~$110. I like that the Samson has the headphone output and the gain controls (which the AT does not) and better recording quality versus the AT2020 at 48kHz versus 44.1kHz. However, the Sampson weighs a half-pound more. For both mics the sound quality is great for podcasting, and while vastly superior to the Blue Snowball, and certainly adequate for most vocals that will be supported with background music, neither mic produces recordings clean enough and of high enough quality (limited to 16bit) for pure narration (IMHO).
So I upped my price-point again. And found THE perfect USB mic for voice-overs at ~$275. The MXL USB.009. It records at 24Bit/96kHz -- a huge improvement over the 16Bit/44.1kHz of all the other mics. It has the benefits of a mic jack and knobs for gain control like the Samson G Track, and is Plug and Play. I don't have to tweak anything on my Mac or my PC. It is lightweight, so I'm not worried about my boom tipping, and there is no background hum. I like the steel carrying case -- it weighs about 6 pounds with the mic and USB cable -- and makes it easy to carry through airport security.
Yes, the MXL USB.009 is 4x the cost of the Blue Snowball and 2.5x the cost of the Samson G Track and the AT2020, but for me, it is worth it. I not only do podcasting, but I do professional voice-over work, and I need something that will give me the convenience of direct USB recording with near-studio quality.

 HELP??!! Apr 08, 2010
I just bought this mic and i can hear it and everything but it will not record. I have all the settings in windows set to the mic and i have all the settings in my DAW (Acid Pro 7) set to the mic but still it records nothing....??? any one else have this problem? I even tried using the program called reaper that the company recommended and still nothing.

Highly reccomended! Mar 20, 2010
When Jeff Fisher and I wrote 'The Voice Actor's Guide to recording at Home and on the Road" we tested every USB mic available at the time and hands down the MXL.009 was the winner. It's a big mic and not in-expensive but it alone rivaled the sound of traditional condenser studio mics but with the plug and play simplicity of USB. If size and cost is a concern matching a "regular" microphone to a quality analogue to digital USB converter like the Mix Port Pro might be a better solution.

Incredible mic! Jan 07, 2010
We got this for our professional actor/singer son Tony Oller to use with his Mac for recording cover songs on his YouTube. He LOVES it and the quality is outstanding, very high studio quality. He is very pleased! He recorded a cover of Chris Brown's song "Crawl" using this mic. Here is the link if you'd like to listen to the clarity and quality of that recording. It was well worth the extra cost for this 24 bit device and he loves the portability. He can easily take it along with him to the set or anywhere and connect it to his laptop for ready recording with the USB connection. It's a great design and even glows a very cool blue when it's on!

Broken product and Broken Company Dec 07, 2009
I just got off the phone with MXL, Marshal Electronics. I called because I bought this microphone less then a year ago and in the three times I've tried to use it it quits intermittently. After the second time I called the sales rep and he told me the USB cable they supplied was not good quality and I should try another cable. If I had no luck I should give him a call and they would take care of it.
Well, I tried the other cable and it still doesn't work. I called th company back and the fellow no longer works there. Now they say that since I didn't buy from "an authorized retailer" (whatever that means) they won't cover it. I'm holding their product in my hand and it doesn't work and they won't fix it!
I will never buy another MXL product because of their poor poor customer service and I hope they go bankrupt because of the way they treat their customers.
