Aug 19, 2003 11:00 am Oh wow! Yes, looks like a great deal! I should buy one too, but I am broke at the moment. It's not the greatest condenser in the world, obviously, but many people here recommend it for it's price.

Aug 19, 2003 12:10 pm i've got it...it's cheap...it works!
Aug 19, 2003 03:48 pm what a deal. it's the only condenser i've got, but it's very flattereing on my Yamaha acoustics and even my somewhat-lacking voice. I don't think you'll find a better deal than that (and it comes with shockmount too! grrr)
Aug 20, 2003 11:43 am i m talkin bout the MK319 large diapharm condenser 20Hz-20Khz freq response & come without shokmount 1....i m bit worry coz the user ratin there is quite low ~7.55 only
Aug 20, 2003 11:47 am Yep, that's what we're talking about too. Anyways, don't listen to those user ratings for very reliable information. Anyone can go in there and put down all 0's for a score and never have used the thing. Again, I doubt it's an incredible condenser, but it should be better than any normal dynamic mic, and a lot of people here like it.
Aug 20, 2003 12:59 pm i love my 319. like i said it makes my guitars sound great. i've saw in the latest Musician's Friend catalog they've got the mk319 w/ shockmount. i'm pretty sure anyways :O(
Aug 21, 2003 01:58 pm works great for my tracks as well. definitely better than any of the dynamics ive tried. and for its price, you wont be disappointed at all.
Aug 23, 2003 11:50 pm hey man recently i found out there anther cheap options ..the Behringer B2 condenser mic which sellin at $119.99...incld shockmount n hardcase but i juz suspectin the performance only...pls advice!!
Aug 24, 2003 12:35 pm i have the b1 and its good

Aug 24, 2003 12:39 pm If you are concerned about quality then just pay the extra few bucks and get a Rode NT-1a. Quality that you can be assured of.

Aug 24, 2003 05:21 pm JoonHol, where'd you see the B@ for $120? is that USD$?
Aug 26, 2003 07:10 pm I love my 319. It is very flattering to deeper male voices, and adds some great warmth to acoustics, even some surprisingly beautiful sounds from a grand piano. At the beginning it will just sound kinda nicer to you if you're only used to crappy dynamic mics, but as time goes on it gets better and better. Look for Mk-012's, too. They're great.
