"Cheap tube mic ripoff? Think again."

Feature:
Thin on features, no pad or rolloff switches, it's not thin on sound and that's what counts. The 140db SPL makes them useful as overheads for drums, but they really shine on vocals and acoustic guitar. The response is so flat that you don't need a rolloff switch and for acoustic instruments and voice a pad isn't much use either. So I appreciate the money saved by not paying attention to features that have little value in this instance.

Quality:
Well built. The parts fit tightly but it also disassembles easily to allow you to get to the tube.

Value:
At this price, I bought two! So much more you can do with a pair and any other "quality" tube mic starts about double this price. I don't think there's a better value out there for a quality tube mic that shames ALL the competition under $1000 and holds its own with the "big boys" without pretending to be something more than it is. A truly GREAT mic!

Sound:
A warm and wonderful mic that picks up detail and treats vocals the way vocals should be treated. One of the best sounding mics in my studio it easily rivals the "N" brand that has a price tag 7 times higher.

Support:
No experience.

"GET THIS MIC!! AMAZING QUALITY!!"

Feature:
Comes with the shcok mount, mogami cables and a pop filter. You'll need a much better pop filter though.

Quality:
This mic is made very well. Strong and durable but don't drop it of course! Contrary to some reviews I've seen regarding the carry case I think the build quality is excellent. It's strong and very rugged. A wooden case would've been nicer though. Still this is an amazingly priced package!

Value:
It's worth 4 times what I paid!

Desirability:
Very sleek! Very sexy!

Sound:
Unbelievable sound quality at any price! This mic is very warm and excellent for vocals and acoustic guitars.

Ease of Use:
Very easy. Reproduces the source material exactly!

Support:
Had a few questions and support was awesome. Quick response and very helpful.

Overall:
I'll be satisfied for many years to come with it. I also have the SP TB-1 and it is also a killer tube mic. Between the 2 of them I won't be looking to buy for quite awhile.

"If you're looking for bargain-priced mic that performs like it costs a bunch more, give the V69 a very close look. You'll be thrilled at how little money you have to shell out, and you'll be even happier at how well it does it's job." -- Mitch Gallagher: Editor EQ Magazine/February 2003

"We tested the V69 against-count' em-11 other popular condensers, ranging in price from $169 to $5,000.00 list".After a couple of hours of testing, both the engineer/producer and the singer picked the V69 over the other 11 mics. None of them had the same combination of classic tube warmth and top-end air of the 69." -- Fett: Technology Editor, Performing Songwriter January/February 2003

"When I set up the new MXLV69 large diaphragm tube mic on a crucial vocal track I was recording recently, I was really impressed with a winning combination of crispness and warmth - exactly what people love Tube mics for. It was a male vocal with a gutsy quality to it and the air on top at around 10K added some nice sheen to the track - all without having to resort to EQ. In fact, the 'N-brand' famous tube and the MXLV69 to me are extremely close in most aspects of performance. The price though?it is outrageously different!" -- Terry Brown: Producer, Rush , Dream Theater, Fates Warning, FM, Mullmuzzler and Bozzio, Levin, Stevens.
