User questions & answers

Question:	What kind of cable does it use
Answer:	Balanced mic/patch cable, Male XLR to Female XLR
Question:	Hi, if I buy this mic., do I also need a shock mount beside phantom 48v power supply & xlr cable? So is phantom itself act as a mixer at the same time
Answer:	You do not "need" a shock mount as the V67G comes with a hard mount, later on down the road you may want to upgrade to one. Phantom power is just power that is sent over a mic cable to power the mic. It usually comes from an audio interface or mixer. So yes, you would need a Mixer or an Audio interface to use this.
Question:	Is this mic better than the audio-technica at2035 large diaphragm studio condenser microphone
Answer:	My opinion, both Mics are entry level studio quality. The Audio Tech is a solid mic, it is a better quality built, the MXL has that crisp high's sound. So MXL wins on sound quality, but few adjustments on your DAW, and Audio Tech sounds very similar But If you check out the "level up" MXL mics like the MXL 550/551R Microphone Ensemble, is little more expensive than MXL V64g. My opinion, the Audio Tech is a famous brand. Similar level, I can't say its better.. but i will always choose the MXL brand over any HOME use mic. In studio, I prefer the Rode Mics for my voice.
Question:	Can you just plug this into a computer or does it need to go through a sound board
Answer:	This mic used phantom power, which means that it is not suited to just plug in to your computer without an interface. If just plugging directly in is what you want to do, then I would suggest looking at the Blue, snowball or Yeti Pro, the apogee mic, or any other usb condenser mic.

User questions & answers

Question:	there is a clicking sound what is it
Answer:	Sometimes tubes make a sound when warming up that could be called 'clicking'. This should only happen in the 1st 5 minutes after powering up the mike, otherwise change out the tube. You should always give tube equipped devices a 5 minute warm up before using.
Question:	Are BOTH XLR cables in this from Mogami? or just the 7-pin one
Answer:	They are both from Mogami.
Question:	Why are these so expensive
Answer:	I am not an audophile really, but I bought it for one job based on users saying the sound was rich. It has an audio tube in it. That's all I know. Make me an offer that is reasonable.
Question:	Can the mic be use without the power supply
Answer:	No, it's a tube condenser mic so it requires power, regular 48v phantom power won't suffice for powering a tube so it came with it's own power supply.
