MXL V67N

Description

The V67N is MXL’s newest pencil condenser mic. It is a transformer-coupled version of the company’s 603S/604 FET condensers. It ships with omni and cardioid capsules.

According to MXL, the use of a transformer in the output circuit makes the mic’s top end smoother. It also reduces the mic’s sensitivity — 3.5 mV/Pa vs. 10mV/Pa for the 603S — which in turn raises its max SPL (from 134dB for the 603S to 148dB for the V67N).

Despite having been previously reported here as using different capsules, the V67N in fact uses the same capsule as in the MXL 603S and 604. This is a 20.5mm capsule design that was modeled after Neumann’s KM-84. Diaphragm thickness is 6 microns; diaphragm diameter is 16.75mm.

The V67N comes with a mic clip (p/n MXL H-03), a micro-fiber cleaning cloth, and two interchangeable capsules (omni and cardioid). A suspension shockmount (p/n MXL-41-603) is available separately.
