General Characteristics

This microphone includes two interchangeable capsules with gold-sputtered diaphragms. One capsule is designed for a cardioid pick-up pattern; the other capsule is designed for an omni-directional pickup pattern. Condenser microphones are very sensitive, readily revealing very subtle sonic details. They also tend to pick up sounds outside the pattern more than some designs, which can lead to powerful feedback if you are not careful. We strongly advise experimentation with placement and isolation requirements with the gain initially set low to avoid equipment (and ear) damage.

Contents

Unpack your MXL V67N microphone carefully and verify that all of the following items are included:

• MXL V67N microphone
• Omni-directional capsule
• Hard mount mic stand adapter

If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact the company from which you purchased the microphone.

Power Requirement

The MXL V67N requires 48V phantom power ( ± 4V). If no sound is picked up by the microphone, make sure that the phantom power on your mixer or separate power supply is switched on.

Microphone Cable

The microphone cable can have a profound effect on the sound of any microphone. Even the finest microphone will sound poor if the interconnect cable allows noise to enter or causes distortion and loss of information. We recommend that you use the best microphone cable that your budget will allow.

Care

Dust and foreign material can reduce the performance of a microphone over time, so you should store the MXL V67N in its case when not in use.
