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
Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The V67/V67G is a large-diaphragm cardioid FET condenser with a transformer-coupled output and a smoothly rising +3dB presence peak from 2kHz-10kHz.
According to MXL, the mic was originally called the V67, then changed to “V67G” to differentiate it from the other microphones that were added to the V67 series.
The mic’s capsule has a 25mm diaphragm made of 6-micron Mylar, and is presumably a copy of the Neumann K67 (dual backplates, center-terminated) found in many of MXL’s other microphones.
This capsule’s natural high-frequency peak is attenuated by a built-in (non-switched) equalization circuit, which is a derivative of a similar circuit in the Neumann U87.
The headbasket grille is a 2-layer metal mesh with a gold finish.
The amplifier and output circuitry of the V67G is identical to the V67I; the difference between the two mics is in the capsule. Both mics are fixed-Cardioid, but the V67I uses a dual-sided capsule with an alternate tuning on the rear side, and a two-way “warm/bright” EQ switch.
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.
