MXL V69M Review /
See All ZenPro Audio Reviews Here: Review Page
The V69M was one of those early
Chinese made mics that people noticed was different, it kind of was at the
start of the “coming of age” of companies like MXL who started to strive for a
richer sound and smoother sounding mics. This transformerless tube mic has a
way of delivering a high quality sound in still a pretty low price range.
The V69M-EDT (Mogami Edition) gets a
lot of praise like being “dark but still with some air”. I agree with that, It’s
sort of softer and smoother in the right spot up top, but doesn’t just close up
and eliminate detail and the sound of the room and space. It has a forgiving
upper midrange for vocals in that it doesn’t tend to deliver highly sibilant
sounds. The midrange has a punch and motion to it that moves nicely. Low end is
full and round, work the mic closely and you will get some size on the low end.
Acoustic instruments are delivered with decent harmonic content and transient
response, yet still not as tingle-y but more of a “vintage vibe” sound. The V69
sounds like what you think a tube mic should sound like really, for lack of a
better way of saying it.
Conclusion: If you’re looking for a
tube-y sound and a mic that delivers punch and air without being annoying in
the upper range, the V69M still excels at delivering a high quality and smooth
sound that most would associate with more vintage type of mics. MXL did a nice
job on delivering a lot of mic for the money here.
