Well now im just getting confused
haha, me too
MXL, not MXL, ST77, ST79 blahhh
cause craigslist is defiantly new.
From the manufacturer.where are they pulling that list price from?
The ST79 is not a MXL 4000 either.. The MXL 4000 is NOT transformer coupled. The MXL 4000 does not have a hifi film cap, the MXL does not have a 8 micron capsule.. As far as clips go, i have one. The ST77 and ST79 are nearly the same inside, one just has a multipattern capsule. Either way, the mic is def not a MXL at all, and kills any MXL.

Listen to I'm Knew and My Friends, I used the ST77 on vocals and overheads for I'm Knew and Overheads for My Friends. This mic is amazing for OH, really smooth, not hyped at all. Much better than Rode mics IMO. It also excels as an acoustic guitar mic.
Clips are kinda useless most of the time unless directly compared to something else in the same room. Most good engineers can make any mic sound good so having nothing to compare it to is almost useless. Hope that helps you guys, its a good Mic. I liked it a lot better than my Neumann TLM103. I would compare it with any high end mic ive heard that is a fully discrete FET mic that is transformer coupled.

Neil, MSRP is $1200. The original sale price was probably around $1000. They are going for under $300 everywhere now b/c they are being closed out. Meaning, the deals only last as long as the stock does.read my post smartass, they're going for 300 new on a bunch of sites so no it's not a HUGE FUCKING DEAL and 1200 dollar mics don't go for 180 on craigslist used or not.

Hey man,
Song sounds great. Actually, after listening to it, reading this thread, and doing some research... I decided to order one today. I was just wondering - What sort of pre-amp / channel strip (if any) are you running through? I'm new to vocal recording and could really use some suggestions as to my next purchase
Thanks!
well in that case
I retort my previous statement to the n00b
I would highly suggest a GAP-73 preamp if your on a budget.
