I NEED TO KNOW QUICK PLSE IT EPIC BC I JUST ORDERED AND PEOPLE TELL ME IT WONT WORK AND I SPENT ALOT OF MY BDAY MONEYY): *** will this mxl 990 mic work with an m audio box and protools?

[tomshepp1]

@youngeshoez95 It should work with m-audio box and protools but I have no way of knowing. You will have to check the specifications on the things you are buying. The MXL 990 mic should work with any setup as long as the device provides phantom power to the mic (which the Mobile Pre does).

[tomshepp1]

You have to use an audio interface to get it to connect with your computer. In these tutorials I used the Mobile Pre which has 2 XLR connections on the back.

What is the size of the shockmount fit 5/8 mic stand

[tomshepp1]

@bighappy64 I'm not sure. The shockmount came with the mic and I don't have the stuff here with me anymore to check. I had to send it back to AU when I finished my project.

is that foam on the box soundproof?

[tomshepp1]

@KiddGuap I think it is just insulation for the mics but it does look like the stuff you would use to soundproof a room.
