   Hey Dan,

   Great Episode. I just had one comment. I actually do use the MXL 990 at the angle you could use a PR-40 at. All you really need to do is turn up your mic volume a little. I know a few people that use it this way. In my opinion, it actually sounds better this way. Just me thinking though :).

   Hey David,

   Thanks for the comments! I actually don’t use the MXL 990 the same angle as the PR-40. This mic in my opinion isn’t made for that, and the best sound comes from where the labeling is (marking the front). This is just my opinion, but I want to listen to a show that you have done like this. Reply with a link and I will check it out

   Thanks,

   All of the signs (even more since the production of this episode) seem to point more and more towards the HSDPA-equipped iPhone coming closer and closer. How much longer can the Stevinator hold it in?

   In regard to the MXL 990 review, different microphones have different frequency responses and polar patters. A hyper-cardioid microhpone requires a smaller proximity to the talent’s mouth to achieve the same pickup, but significantly reduces feedback, while a cardioid can pick up more background noise but allows a larger proximity. Don’t judge your mic based on how others use it - experiment with your mic, and find the sweet spot for your mic and your voice.
