Vintage Style
The MXL V88 features a very well-thought-out “voice.” The low end is wonderful and full but without being overbearing and causing muddiness or unwanted overtones. The mid-range of this microphone is firm and makes voice-over work sound “correct” right out of the box. The top end of this microphone is detailed but not harsh and allows every nuance of an acoustic instrument to be heard but not hyped in any way. The sound quality, compact size, and solid construction make this a valuable addition to your microphone collection.
