I am in the broadcasting profession, and had been searching for a microphone to use in my own voice-over business. Over the years there were recommendations given from people with whom I worked about different mics. Having been a victim of the economy, I needed a really good microphone that wouldn't bust the budget. There were many options from which to choose. The MXL brand has a good reputation among voice-over artists, so that is the route I chose. But which model? I chose the MXL 770 for it's features, of course, but one factor that drew me back to it was it's appearance. It just has that 'quality' look about it plus I really like the coloring. It is so different from other mics which I have used over the years. It has a warmth and fullness to it. In the proper setting, it works like a charm. And you can't beat the value. If you want something that will give you a quality sound without breaking the bank, then I would give the MXL 770 a solid go.

This 770 is my first MXL mic, but more than likely will not be my last. Mic appears to be well built with a nice shockmount. I like the crisp warm sound that the mic gives while still retaining the smooth lows.

I've been in the recording business for a long time. I've worked with Neumans, AKGs, and other top-notch mics. This isn't a Neuman, but for the money it blows away most mics selling for quite a bit more. For me, it sounds better than a Shure KSM-27 or even -32. If you want to spend a lot more you can find a better mic, but if you're on a budget this is one to get.
