The MXL V76t is tube microphone with a warm up front transparent midrange to emphasize voices and instruments. Housed in a silver metal casing with chrome grill, the V76t comes complete with hi-isolation shock mount, power supply, 7 pin power cable, windscreen and carrying case. Only 7.5'' long and with a center diameter of only 1/78'', the V76t is one of the smallest tube mics available. The V76t is the perfect entry level tube microphone.

JJ Blair/EQ MagazineIt’s actually pretty musical-sounding and has a cool grainy tube-condenser vibe to it. It’s definitely hyped in the high mids and adds character to the vocals, but its mid-range presence seemed tinny on the acoustic. And the mic just did not translate the low end effectively at all on the piano.
