MXL 990 Ribbon Microphone

A Ribbon mic that excels in the most demanding recording applications.




A modern classic, the MXL 990 Ribbon mic is the
result of great engineering. With an amazingly smooth and natural
frequency response, the 990 Ribbon mic excels in the most demanding
recording applications. It can be used to enhance string and woodwind
instruments, along with mellow, edgy vocals and overly bright horns. It
is equally at home when used in conjunction with a grand piano or even
in front of a guitar cabinet pushing high SPL levels. When it comes to
unprecedented versatility, the MXL 990 ribbon mic is a top-notch choice.

The
MXL 990 Ribbon microphone uses an aluminum ribbon transducer, which by
nature is a bidirectional (figure-8) pickup pattern. A figure-8 pattern
will pick up sounds from the front and back sides of the microphone with
equal sensitivity while maintaining a large amount of rejection 90
degrees off access. The front of the microphone is indicated by the MXL
logo where the audio signal is in-phase while the backside has an
inverted phase. Ribbon mics typically have a lower output than condenser
microphones and may require a preamplifier with a lot of gain. It is
highly recommended to use a preamp with low noise, high gain, and an
input impedance of 1500 or greater. It is strongly advised to experiment
with placement and isolation requirements with the gain initially set
low to avoid possible equipment (and hearing) damage.

Important Power Requirements
This
microphone does not require a power supply. Use of phantom power with
this microphone is not recommended as it can severally damage the ribbon
element and causes the microphone to be unusable.
