V69 ME Documentation
MXL V69 ME
Cardioid Tube Condenser Microphone
The MXL V69 is a large diaphragm tube condenser microphone with a fixed Cardioid polar pattern.
Its circuit is somewhat unusual in that it is a 2-stage tube/fet design, with solid-state amplification following the initial tube stage. Moreover, it has a transistor-based impedance conversion circuit rather than a transformer on the output.
The circuit’s response contains high-frequency attenuation.
The capsule is MXL’s standard 32mm K67 type.
MXL began referring to the V69 as the “V69ME” (for “Mogami Edition”) in 2008/2009. No changes to the mic’s construction or components have been made since the socketed 12AT7 tube was introduced within this mic (replacing a soldered miniature tube).
The MXL V69 ME is also known as: V69ME, V69-ME.
The mic was released in 2002.
