Finished Rebuilt MXL 990 With 991 SDC

Description

A Fully Rebuilt Transformerless 990 and an Unmodified 991 SDC as a bonus!

We replaced the tiny capsule in the 990 with a k47 style LDC. The electronics are replaced with our own jaSb all-discrete circuit with optional internal pattern switch.

Harsh, sibilant high-end becomes smooth and silky. Thin bottom end becomes full. In the middle is a great harmonic richness that works well on almost anything you throw at it.

The 990 the great sound and performance of any of our other transformerless builds.

• k47 Style Large Diaphragm Capsule
• jsSb Circuit Board with optional internal pattern switch (omni/cardioid)
• Matte Red paint finish

The 991 is stock and unmodified.  Comes with MXL hard case and hard-mounts for both mics.

Options:

• Mic-Parts improved headbasket for the 990 (looks better, sounds better)
• Boseen Spider Style Shockmount (there is no stock MXL shockmount)

Notes:

• Internal pattern switch is accessed by unscrewing the body cylinder.  In omni mode the signal level of the mic decreases about 6dB.
• The Mic Parts Headbasket does not have a Cardioid Emblem on the front as seen in some photos
• The 991 can drastically improved by swapping the capsule with a SDC capsule from mic-parts.
