      The MXL Mic Mate …
      The MXL Mic Mate Pro does support 48V phantom power. How does the Heil PR-40 compare to the Electro-Voice RE-20 ? No one uses a pop filter with the RE-20, I see you’re using one on the PR-40. How poppy is the PR-40 compared to the MXL-990?

      Would you say that a pair of MXL 990’s would be the best for someone just starting out with a podcast ? Just a voice podcast and obviously 2 people. THANKS AGAIN!

      yep and blue makes one (called the icicle) and shure makes one (called X2U).

      i dunno what it is but your recordings are pretty thin – and i think you need a better preamp or something or maybe its the compression you are using in the video shame really as it does not do the mics justice especially the Heil

    22. mr4y Says:

      Other great mic about the same price of the Heil would be the Shure SM7B.

      That was a great, in-depth review. Do you mind telling me the name of the scissor mic stand you are using? I am looking at different ones and I like the way the one you have looks. Thanks. Keep it up.
