MXL is a leader in making innovative, affordable, and sexy microphones. The main draw to MXL is the price combined with the quality you receive for that price. They make a lot of microphones, from colorful tube mics, and ribbon mics, to high fidelity, clean condenser microphones.
Finally we should have a very wide selection of Hosa cables up for sale within a week. We added Hosa to our lineup to offer our customers a good quality cable, for the lowest possible price. Hosa is well known for providing quality cables at a discount. Most of us at PPA have used them in many scenarios over the years, and for the money they deliver in spades.
