Frequently Asked Questions

The MXL’s offer similar clarity but often lack the NT5’s refined low-end and slightly wider dynamic range, though the value is significantly better.
They can handle electric guitars, but be mindful of the SPL limit and consider a pad if you're getting distortion.
The case is functional but basic; consider a more robust hard case for frequent transport to protect the mics and shock mounts.
