The MXL 990 USB will operate without MXL’s Virtual Preamp software using the standard drivers included in your computer's operating system. However, the MXL 990 USB Virtual Preamp driver provides greater functionality by virtue of its dedicated Volume fader, which facilitates more precise control over gain structure. To achieve the best results from your new microphone, we recommend you install it. Please be certain to select the appropriate driver for your operating system.
