I'm getting started in YouTube tech videos and I'm kind of an audio noob. And I have to pay extra for this mic.** A: It's a great mic. However, I use it for instrument recording rather than vocals. The key thing with the MXL 990 condenser is it is not USB, requiring a xlr connector on a mixer or audio interface with phantom power. If you have these (and it's not a Behringer 502 or smaller which do not supply the required voltage for this mic) then I would strongly recommend the MXL. If you don't have this equipment then a USB yeti is probably a cheaper option. **Q: Which arm would work with this out of the box, without the need for converting anything?** A: This reply is a bit late but it may help others. Get the RØDE PSA1, don't argue , don't go looking at the 15 quid specials, this mic is too heavy for them. I have tired both and the PSA1 is worth every penny. Not sponsored by RØDE or anyone else , just a customer like you. **Q: what is the treading size on the bottom of the mic** A: A standard female nutrix connector **Q: Can i use this on my desk using a desk stand? If so which desk stand would it use?** A: Hi any normal desk mic stand would be suitable the connection into the mic may need an adapter. Check eBay for a desk stand or Amazon. ## Frequently Bought Together - MXL 990 Condenser Microphone for Podcasting, Singing, Home Studio Recording, Gaming & Streaming | Detailed Sound | XLR | Large Diaphragm (Champagne) - Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface for Guitarists, Vocalists, Podcasters or Producers to record and playback studio quality sound - Amazon Basics XLR Male to Female Microphone Cable for Speaker or PA System, All Copper Conductors, 6MM PVC Jacket, 6 Foot, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/47993834-990-condenser-microphone](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/47993834-990-condenser-microphone) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
