Mods for the V67I
- 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 V67I
MSRP: $199 Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Description
- Two switch-selectable 25mm (1'') Large Capsules (one warm and one bright)
- Solid state preamp with balanced transformer output
- Gold plated grill
- Selectable pad and roll-off filter
- Comes with mic clip and wooden storage case
A large, dual diaphragm version of the V67G, this mic is unique in that it has two selectable cardioid capsules — not for the purpose of providing multiple pickup patterns, but simply different EQ curves. The front capsule has a warm, dark tone, whereas the back has a brighter and airer sound.
The frequency response chart shows a significant difference in response between the two capsules, with the “bright” capsule being attenuated a few dB below 200 Hz and having a pronounced presence peak (possible +10dB) at 9kHz. In contrast, the “warm” capsule is relatively flat above 30 Hz.
A red LED inside the headbasket indicates which capsule is in use.
