V69M : Great quality microphone

9 years ago

This thing sounds extremely crisp! Even with the cheap Chinese valve in it! and for the price you can't get better. It sounds great on everything but really shines with female vocals. If you are thinking of buying this, i would recommend swapping out the Chinese tube to either a 12at7 or 12ax7, you wont regret it!

Pros:

Great sound

Great quality

The mogami cables it comes with are fantastic

Great shock mount

Well packaged

The hardcase is pretty darn good too!

Sturdy power supply unit

And it looks pretty too!

Cons: (if any)

The pins on the base of the mic for the cable feel quite brittle, so you'd want to be careful

The cheap Chinese valve doesn't sound amazing

No low end roll off switch or pad switch.

All in all i would definitely recommend this mic! Shines through most mixes with very little post processing needed.
