The V67G HE from MXL is a cardioid, large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for recording vocals in commercial and project studios. Compared to the original V67G, the HE (Heritage Edition) features a different finish and a variety of accessories.

The V67G HE utilizes the same transformer-coupled output and solid-state, Class-A FET circuitry as the original V67G. Its cardioid polar pattern maximizes sound rejection from the rear of the mic, providing a directional focus that reduces room reflections in the recording. Its 30 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response ensures full-range transduction of vocals in a variety of genres and styles. It features a 32mm capsule with a 6-micron, gold-sputtered diaphragm, and can handle a high maximum SPL of 130 dB. Phantom-power compliance and an XLR output make it ready for use in the studio.

The supplied shockmount decouples the mic from a stand, reducing the pickup of rumble. Also, included with the V67G HE is a metal mesh pop filter, ideal for minimizing plosives during vocal recording sessions. The provided aluminum flight case ensures the mic's safety during storage or transport.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How close do you have to be to the mic? How much noise does the mic isolate without additional isolation (foam, etc.)?

A: This is a condenser mic so it is very sensitive unlike a dynamic mic. If we a talking about recording a vocalist in the studio about 6 inches is the norm. If you are dealing with a pro they will already have good mic technique and the louder they sing they will step further back from the mic. The same is true in the other direction. If they want to get a more intimate sound to their voice they will move closer to the mic and sing much softer. By moving closer they will take advantage of what is called the Proximity Effect. Proximity Effect is the closer you are to the mic the more bass response you will get. The mic will not isolate anything for you. The mic will pick up things you will not be able to hear like air conditioning rumble, the singers shoes if they move around while singing etc. The most cost effective way of dealing with this is with an acoustic shield. Like the sE Electronics RF-X Reflection Filter which will stop the reflections in the room and give you a much more intimate sound to the vocal and help keep some of the air born noise in the room out of the mic B&H # SESEERFX.

Q: 2. Does this work on a Chromebook?

A: I contacted the manufacturer and confirmed that the Tempo SK mic is indeed compatible for use with a Chromebook.

Q: 3. Does this product come with a wire for it?

A: No, an XLR microphone cable is not included with the MXL 770.

Q: 4. Should I go for this or the MXL 990 for general studio use (vocals, instruments, ect.)?

A: Both mics will work well and specs are almost the same for the two models, but the MXL 990 is a bit more rugged and would be the better option for general studio use.

Q: 5. Is there a specific type of interface that must be purchased to work with this?

A: As the other respondents said it is an XLR connection, however not all USB interfaces can provide the phantom power that condenser microphones need. Make sure that your interface or whatever mixer you use make sure it has phantom power (48v)

Q: 6. Is it protected against accidental phantom power like the SE X1 R?

A: The MXL R144 HE Heritage Edition Ribbon Microphone is not protected against phantom power, and there is a warning in the user manual that phantom power may damage the microphone. If your equipment has a phantom power switch that is universal to multiple mic inputs, or if you want to be safe from accidental button presses, a blocker like this can protect your mic: https://bhpho.to/3L0h4CV. If you want a little bit more clean gain from the microphone, in-line preamps such as the Polsen XP-30D or the Cloudlifter CL-1 can protect the mic from phantom power while also providing you with a better level signal.

Q: 7. Should I go with this or the Studio Projects B1 for general studio use? I know I just asked a similar question a few days ago but I've narrowed it down to these 2 and need help choosing.

A: Without knowing anythigng about your projects and your needs I would lean to the MXl as an all purpose mic.

Q: 8. does it come with a stand for the mic so you don't have to hold it?

A: There is a shock mount included with the mic that will attach to any 5/8'' threaded mic stand. An actual mic stand is sold separately. Here's an option, BH #AUMS5230F.

Q: 9. Is this compatible with a MacBook ?

A: Yes it is. As a side note also the shock mount that is included doesn't fit the mic that you order. It's weird I know.

Q: 10. Is it capable of handling heavy guitar distortion?

A: Maximum Input Sound Level: 137dB
