Th ank you for purchasing the MXL V89 Studio Condenser Microphone. MXL microphones are the result of world-class engineering and manu-
facturing capabilities. Th e V89 is designed to provide you with outstanding performance and exceptional value. For best results, please take a few
moments to review this literature.
General Characteristics
Th is microphone has a 32mm capsule and a fi xed cardioid pickup pattern. Condenser microphones are very sensitive, readily revealing very subtle sonic details.
Th ey 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 hearing) damage!
Power Requirements
IMPORTANT: Th is microphone requires phantom power at 48 volts, +/- 4 volts. Each unit has been thoroughly checked before shipping, so if you do not
hear sound, check that the phantom power on your preamp, mixer or separate power supply is switched on.
Shockmount
Th e MXL shockmount can shift during shipment. Simply shift the nylon bands to center the microphone in the assembly. Be sure that the wire clamp does
not rest on the chassis of the mount as this impairs mechanical isolation. Slide the mount all the way to the rim of the microphone for the most secure hold.
Microphone Cables
Dust and foreign material can degrade the performance of a microphone over time so always store the unit in its case. For vocals closer than
3”, use a “popper stopper” or a foam windscreen to avoid getting moisture on the diaphragm as this can substantially degrade the microphone’s
performance.
Care
Dust and foreign material can degrade the performance of a microphone over time so always store the unit in its original packaging.
