Product Description
"Old school tube mellow" is often used to describe the sound of the MXL V67G Large Capsule Condenser Microphone. Designed mainly for vocals, the V67G combines Class A FET circuitry and a transformer-coupled output for an open and pure sound. The V67G comes through with killer vocals even in front of a busy mix and has great stage appeal with a gold-plated round grill and distinctive, vintage body. You'll be amazed by the sound this cleverly-designed microphone provides and pleasantly pleased with the price.

I just purchased this mic because I started to do more studio recordings and I needed an inexpensive Large diaphragm condenser that sounded warm and was a good all around mic. I used the MXL V67G for female vocals, male vocals, acoustic guitar, and aux percussion so far and with each instrument I have been very pleased by the performance and the quality. The proximity to the mic provides good tone close and far away with relatively low noise. The hard plastic shock mount that comes with it is of not much use so I would recommend purchasing the MXL 57 shock mount as well. The construction of the mic seems solid and I have had no issues with it. The mic does seem to have a slight break in period but it is very short and the 'newness' wears off to give you that great mellow tube/warm tone.
Before I purchased it, I read some reviews where people had trouble with it out of the box not working. The only thing I can think of is that they didn't put on the phantom power because this mic needs to be powered to work.
I look forward to trying this with drum overheads, acoustic pianos and possibly scream vocals.
All in all, this is a great all around mic and it will enhance your rig. It is surprisingly cheap for how good it sounds, the response is great, it gives true tone of the instrument and it can be used for many different instruments. You won't be disappointed!
I use the microphone for making recordings for marketing presentations, VoIP telephony voice prompts, voice-overs, live presentations conducted via Webinars, and also for some hobbyist applications including amateur radio and music production.
The microphone is so much better than dynamic microphones I was using previously. I also had a chance to compare this microphone to a couple of other condenser microphones, and this sounded as good as one, and better than the other. Subjective? Yes, but the other two people with me also agreed. BTW, both of those other microphones cost at least twice as much as I paid for this one (purchased from Amazon)
As has been noted by other reviewers, this microphone has a very wide pickup pattern. It can hear the computer fan on the other side of the room, and another one at about a 50-degree angle. I do have to pay close attention to the ambient noise - but that's a problem with my environment, not with the microphone. I had expected signals from the side to be attenuated more, but that hasn't been my experience (possible reflections, but I don't think so, since acoustic dampening material didn't seem to make any difference.)
I keep the microphone mounted in a shock mount, and have it wrapped in a plastic bag (hole in Ziploc bag with rubber-band securing it to mic body, Ziploc opening sealed hanging over end of microphone (mounted upside-down) to keep dust out of the mic - and found that it still picks up sound well, so for casual recording or when using it for webinars or voice communication, I just keep it enclosed in the bag. When I'm creating something for production, I open the Ziploc seal on the bag and roll up onto the microphone body to expose the microphone screen. This has worked well and keeps the microphone clean, and ready to use at any moment.
This microphone has exceeded my expectations for its clarity and responsiveness. I am pleased to recommend the XML V67 (G) to you.
When I first used this mic, I tried singing into the end of it and couldn't hear myself very well. Later in the evening I was standing off to the side and could hear myself so loud that I had to back away about a foot from the mic. Then I remembered reading about the cardioid pattern and stood it up straight on the mic stand, paying attention to the orientation of the mic. It was so sensitive that I really had to stay backed up from the mic and it was easy for two or three people to stand around it for vocals. I have a Rainsong WS1100 acoustic electric guitar I was playing, and was able to turn off my amp completely because this mic picked up the instrument and my vocals so clearly. Other musicians were impressed by it as well. I payed just under a $100 for it, which I think is a great value for this product.

Reviewed in India on May 10, 2023
É excelente para o que custa, mas apesar de todas as coisas boas que ele tem nem tudo são rosas, e é importante ficarem a saber do bom e do mau!
Primeiro que tudo é importante saber que este microfone é extremamente sensível e capta algum ruído de fundo, o meu estúdio está apropriadamente isolado e mesmo assim tenho sempre algum ruido nas gravações, nada que não se consiga corrigir, mas limita um bocado a forma como é usado.
Segundo, a dinâmica deste microfone é relativamente banal.
É excelente a captar vozes mais calmas, consegue captar muito bem os detalhes da voz, dos graves aos agudos, mas assim que se exige um pouco mais dele e se acrescenta algum dinamismo à voz, o som torna se algo estéril.
Vozes muito intensas tendem a ser finas, com pouco calor, e às vezes é possível encontrar alguns artefactos e perdas de informação na gravação.
Apesar disso, tendo em conta o preço que ele custa não se pode dizer que estes defeitos sejam um deal breaker, muito longe disso!
Afinal, estamos a falar de um microfone que custa pouco mais de 100 euros e que mesmo assim consegue oferecer resultados com bastante qualidade e consistência!
Uma recomendação pessoal?
Se estiverem a planear cantar estilos como rock, metal, ou outros estilos que envolvam muita energia e dinâmica recomendo que mantenham o ganho no mínimo e se aproximem do microfone o máximo possível.
Desta forma os detalhes das zonas mais calmas da vocal estarão lá (mesmo que bastante baixas em volume) e as partes mais intensas serão gravadas com algum detalhe nas regiões médio graves, que é onde o microfone peca mais.
Desta forma por mais que gritem o microfone não dá clipping e podem modelar o som com maior liberdade, controlando os graves e medio graves das partes mais calmas e amplificando o calor das vocais mais agressivas.
Nada que com um bom trabalho de EQ e compressão não se consiga resolver!
PROS: - Easy to use basic cap microphone with great sound *****
- Great value for the money
- You'll impress everyone with the V67
CONS : - windscreen feels a bit flimsy, don't drop or strike it !
- amplifier is a bit noisy like a tube mic, not a huge deal
I'm considering buying another one just to find some component values to try and repair my dead one but I feel like it's probably a waste of time/money.
I've read decent things about these mics but I wonder whether amazon are selling a dud batch or something as I'm seeing reports of similar failings.
Probably better off buying a rode nt1 or similar if looking for an affordable ldc that is actually reliable.
Avoid is my advice.
