Comments about MXL V69M Tube Condenser Microphone:
I rated this mic a four star only because I have only used it to record the vocals on one song. The microphones signal came through very strong. I had to turn down the input volume from my interface. The mic sounds warm, and it captured my voice just as good as the thousand dollar microphones that I have recorded with. I wasn't expecting the 24 Karat gold plated grill or a power supply, case , cord, shock mount, and microphone protector. It arrived by UPS, with no issues. I'm writing this review because everything about my experience with this product has been outstanding. The people who made this possible should be the model for customer service. Good job guys.

This tube microphone is a great value, especially since BH has the lowest prices on the web. It is substantially warmer and crisper than my AT4040. I have used it on male voice and acoustic guitars with great results.

Comments about MXL V69M Tube Condenser Microphone:
A very nice mic for many source recordings. I used this mic through my digital
mixer to give a little warmth to source signals. A good thing to note is that placement is the key to all mic types. Trial is the name of the game and if I can get away without using EQ then it is a good day.
