    Hey, guys, sorry if this doesn't fall quite into "Radio", but I don't see an active podcasting forum. My question is also more general.

    I'm looking to buy a mic. I want the MXL 990 Condenser w/ Shock Mount. However, other than Amazon, are there any other place to buy from? Any local shops? I'm in Dublin. Prefer to buy local. Peats doesn't seem to carry any nor do any of the major sites (i.e., Komplett, Dabs, Play).

    most music people will buy from www.thomann.de if they do not buy it from their local music store. I've dealt with them on about five occasions and they are very professional.

    I think that's what you're looking for but make sure you read through the description fully.

    Thanks for the replies. Adding a link for The Music King site if anyone else ends up finding this thread.

    They carry the mic and ship to Ireland. Lowest price so far.

    I called Big Bear Sound. They didn't have it in-stock, but they can order it. Good to know there is a local audio store.

    I use a couple of Røde mics for podcasting, a little pricier than the MXLs you're looking at but really excellent mics
