MXL V67G Description
"Old school tube mellow" is often used to describe the sound of the V67G.
Designed mainly for vocals, the V67G combines Class A FET circuitry and a
transformer coupled output for an open and pure sound. The V67G comes through
with killer vocals even in front of a busy mix and has great stage appeal with
a gold-plated round grill and distinctive, vintage body. You'll be amazed by
the sound this cleverly-designed microphone provides and pleasantly pleased
with the price.

MXL V67G Review /
See All ZenPro Audio Reviews Here: Review Page
The MXL V67G has been at the top of
my $100 range mic list for many years, and it is still there. The green / gold
mic has a bit of “bling” to it I suppose, which certainly doesn’t hurt it in
sales. However, it’s the SOUND of this mic that has always really impressed me
on acoustic sources and on voice.
The V67G is a slightly darkish
sounding condenser mic. I don’t mean DARK, I mean it’s not bright which is what
many expect. Still, there is kind of this vibe to it that you don’t find in
$100 mics. Kind of a smoky kind of sound up top. The midrange is represented
well in good detail but a bit smoothed over too. Low end response is strong
enough, but not real big. The mic can be worked close with no crazy proximity
effect. On male vocals in particular, the V67G delivers the right sort of tone
needed for all kinds of styles. On acoustic guitar, the V67G has a full bodied
midrange sound and doesn’t get too scrape-y sounding up top due to that
slightly dark top it has. There’s a little air up top, not much but it’s enough
and you can EQ some in if needed.
Conclusion: The MXL V67G is still a
first recommendation in this price range by me. It’s non-offensive and smooth
sound tends to work well on lots of sources, and it’s kind of the ultimate home
studio mic for getting lots of things done on a super low budget.
