The MXL V69 is a large diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone. Its classic sound enhances vocal and instrument performances in professional and home studio environments. The extremely low noise level, wide dynamic range and warm sonic characteristics make the V69 a perfect complement to all analog and digital recording devices. Comes with deluxe flight case, versatile shock mount, dedicated power supply, Mogami 7-pin and XLR microphone cables and wind screen.

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 mic was released in 2002.
