Mods for the V67G
- OktavaMod
Michael Joly’s V67g mod contains a suite of upgrades: new FET, open headbasket, internal wiring, capacitors. The stock capsule and transformer are retained, but improved through the other component changes. - Marik
Marik offers two types of mods for the MXL V67:
Optimize the existing circuit, re-lam the transformer with high-quality 80% Nickel lamination, and upgrade selected components to eliminate brittle/piercing HF and muffled LF response.
Or, he can replace and rebuild the circuit to an “all-FET” design, resulting in more natural and homogenous sound, with smoother highs and deeper bass response.

MXL V67G
Street: $99 / MSRP: $279 Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Description
- 25mm (1'') large capsule condenser
- Gold-sputtered, 6 micron density diaphragm
- Solid state preamp balanced transformer output
- Durable brass enclosure
- Screw-on mic stand adapter
- MXL-57 isolation shock mount available
The MXL-V67G sports a gold plated round grill and distinctive vintage brass body design. It was designed for vocals, so this mic will surely stand out in any crowd. The V67G sounds as golden as its looks. Its 1'' gold sputtered, 6-micron diaphragm, FET preamp and transformer balanced output combine to create an open, vintage sound. The double screen, round grill, also helps to produce a smooth, even frequency response. It comes complete with stand adapter and an optional high isolation shock mount is available.
The V67I is based on the V67G but has a second diaphragm.
Mojo Pie
I’ve had this mic for about 18 months and have used it primarily for vocals. It’s become one of my first choices for warming up a harsher female voice. The V67G excels at taking the edge off of any singer that may be a little strident in the upper midrange area. In side-by-side testing, it has beat out a Rode Classic, an AT 4033 and a Gefell UM-70S on several different singers. On others it hasn’t, but every home recordist should be aware that no single mic will work well on every source. And, they should also understand you get what you pay for and the V67 is no exception.
