THE PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE MICROPHONE IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE
The VO: 1-A's response is almost identical to my ear across nearly the entire frequency spectrum. The physical construction of the microphone is quite impressive, and consistent with the quality Ive come to expect from MXL giving their German counterparts a run for their money.

HOLDS UP BEAUTIFULLY AGAINST THAT SENNHEISER
This mic really surprised me. Very warm and real. I compared it to my 416 (3 times as expensive) and the sound holds up beautifully against that Sennheiser workhouse.

AN OUTSTANDING MICROPHONE.
An Outstanding Microphone. I've done voiceovers for over 20 years. ... On most of the voices I have tested the VO: 1-A creates better results than a U87 - and yes I've done direct comparisons! It's just as accurate and pleasant, especially on rich, baritone voices. I use a MicPort Pro and Adobe Audition and the results will generally surpass my Avalon and Firewire 610. It&39;s hard to see how anyone could go wrong with this product. Well done.

GIVES YOU THE PERFORMANCE OF AN EXPENSIVE MIC
My go-to mic is a Harlan Hogan Signature Series VO: 1-A from MXL. It gives you the performance of an expensive mic at a price that nearly anyone can afford.

ONE OF THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS I GET ...
One of the most common questions I get voiceover talent is 'What microphone should I get?' While it is a highly personal choice, I now have a fantastic suggestion in the VO:1-A is sure to be flattering to most voices because it was designed voiceover in mind. I have one in my own cabinet and it is a great go-to mic for everything from telephony to commercial or narration projects.Harlan and MXL have done a great service to our industry by providing a product that is a 'no brainer' for beginners and pros alike.

I'M LOVIN' THE VO: 1-A!
I'm lovin' the VO: 1-A! This mic is like a combination of the warmth of my RE- 20 and the crispness of my AKG C3000b all in one. Plus, I always had to EQ the RE-20 to achieve the brightness that your mic naturally has!

I NOTICE A BIG DIFFERENCE WITH THIS MIC. LOVE IT!
Awesome! Customer service was incredible. The mic is more than I hoped for. Harlan has made a mic that really gives my already resonant voice more character and I love the sound. It comes with all the accessories, even a hardshell case. I am totally pleased. I notice a big difference with this mic. LOVE IT!

AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I DECIDED ON THE HARLAN HOGAN SIGNATURE SERIES VO:1-A
After extensive research I decided on the Harlan Hogan Signature Series VO:1-A by MXL. It comes with a foam-lined carrying case, a shock mount and a 15' mic cable. The condenser mic works extremely well with my baritone voice. I use it with a MicPort Pro preamp. This is a mic I feel I can grow with since the sound quality is excellent and works well with my voice.

THIS MICROPHONE GIVES MY VOICE A SPECIAL WARMTH AND SHARPNESS
I record voice overs in Spanish and this microphone gives my voice a special warmth and sharpness I've not heard with other more expensive mics. If you are looking for a good microphone, this one will give you great quality and the best bang for your buck. One day my mic suddenly stopped working and I couldn't figure out what was happening; I finally decided to write Harlan Hogan and he replied within 5 minutes telling me: "If it's defective we'll get you a new one, but make sure the phantom power on your Mic Port Pro is on! It's a tiny push button and glows orange - dynamic mics don't need phantom power but studio microphones like VO: 1-A does". That was the problem! I was relieved and happy, not only because I got my mic back to record an important audition, but also because Harlan's customer service was awesome! Thank you Harlan!

THIS VO MIC WOULD BE GREAT VALUE AT TWICE, OR EVEN THREE TIMES THE PRICE
The VO: 1-A - It's a fantastic product for the money and I won't be sending it back! Harlan, what I liked and what attracted me to the concept was the fact the mic was designed by a VO guy. Mics are usually designed, by techs and sound engineers who approach the job in terms of musicality, frequency response, noise floor and all of that....but without a specific application in mind....and certainly not voiceover. But Voice Over is a specialized animal and this VO mic would be great value at twice, or even three times the price

...IT'S THAT GOOD
The VO: 1-A from Harlan Hogan & MXL has superb quality and it fills a void in my arsenal very well. As a matter of fact, my plan is to now use the VO-1A for all my narration & eLearning projects...it's that good.

I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY THE QUALITY...AND THE PRICE
My long-time editor didn't hear difference between my new VO: 1-A and my TLM 103 when I voiced an infomercial it jast week. I was blown away by the quality...and the price of this mic. Harlan knows what a voice artist needs!
