Thank you for purchasing the MXL V67GS Condenser Microphone. With proper care, this mic will provide many years of
satisfaction. For best results, please take a few moments to review this literature.
General Characteristics
This microphone has a 32mm gold sputtered capsule and a fairly wide fixed cardioid pickup pattern. In addition, it features switches
for both pre-attenuation (pad) and high pass filter (bass roll off). Large capsule condensers 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) damaging surprises!
Power Requirements
IMPORTANT - This unit requires phantom power at 48 volts, +/- 4 volts. Each unit has been thoroughly checked before shipping, so
if you hear no sound, check that the phantom power on your mixer or separate power supply is switched on!
Isolation Mount
The optional MXL57 shock mount can shift in 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
The microphone cable can have a profound effect on the sound of any microphone. Even the finest microphones will sound poor if the
interconnect cable allows noise to enter, or causes distortion and loss of information. We recommend the use of Mogami Gold Studio
microphone cables.
Care
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. Store the microphone in its original packaging, or the included zipper pouch.
Warranty
Marshall microphones are guaranteed against defects in material and workmanship for three years from date of purchase. Should you encounter any problem with this
unit, promptly contact the company you purchased it from for assistance. The original dated sales receipt will be necessary for any warranty claim. Do not send any unit
directly to us without prior authorization from our service department! Warranty coverage is limited to repair or replacement (at our option) of the microphone, and
does not cover incidental damages due to use of this unit, nor damage caused by accidental misuse of this product.
