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:	what if i just want the microphone? can i just pay for that
Answer:	Now you can anyways but only in the nt1 and nt1000. It still comes with a clip and dust cover just no shock mount and cable. Its just called RODE NT1 no -KIT at the end.
Question:	Can you use this for voice acting? Also if that is the case then how can you record with this
Answer:	Yes, you could definitely use this to record voice acting. Especially if you are recording from home. What you also need is an audio interface to record. I also suggest looking into the the Rode NT1 which is the newer version of this mic. Either one is a great mic. I own them both.
Question:	Based on reviews alone. Why would one spend 144 more for this mic, over something like the MXL 770. Is the quality that much better
Answer:	so much better(another world)
Question:	Is this a large diaphragm microphone? My son is a rapper and that is what he wants and I 'm not even sure what it is
Answer:	Yes, this is a large diaphragm condenser microphone. The "large diaphragm" refers to the circular surface that you see behind the mesh screen of the mic. Large means a larger circular surface as opposed to a smaller circular surface. When you sing, rap, play instrument, etc. in front of the mic, the sound that you generate vibrates against the diaphragm creating the electronic signal that is transferred through the mic into your recorder or PA system (in live performances; although generally condenser mics are preferred in the studio while dynamic mics are preferred for live performances due to the sensitivity of condenser mics to loud sounds, i.e., live performances). The size of the diaphragm (in this case large) affects the clarity, volume, EQ, and general signal quality that you get. Large diaphragm microphones (LDMs) are generally the choice for studio vocals, and any instrument recording where a more "deep" sound is desired. A large diaphragm microphone generally warms up the sound of what it's recording, which also leads to the myth that most LDMs reproduce low frequencies better than small diaphragm mics; this isn't true, in fact, small diaphragm mics are much better at reproducing everything evenly, including bass. You'll want a pop screen if using a condenser microphone for vocals; they're so sensitive to transient noises that the "P" and "SH" sounds you make will cause distortion. Small diaphragm microphones (SDMs) are generally the best choice where you want a solid, wide frequency response and the best transient response, which is the ability for your microphone to reproduce fast sounds, such as stringed instruments. SDMs are also the preferred choice for concert taping. I hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hey, I have a behringer audio interface with this microphone - I get audio but the blue light isn't on (on the mic). Is this a problem or is it fine
Answer:	I think u meant can u use it as a regular mic without computer. The answer is not without a soundcard to plug it into I believe.
Question:	Is this one the xlr version of this mic? i want to use it on a mackie ony blackjack
Answer:	I don't know, but check other markets I've seen Blue products bellow 100 dollors used I hope this helps.
Question:	Are you able to use this as a usb mic / be able to put this into your macbook pro
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Does it come with a stand or an XLR cable
Answer:	Depends, what are you recording? Original yeti is large and a bit more versatile, you can record in 4 different audio direction, i.e omnidirectional, cardioid, bidirectional, and stereo making it ideal for recording YouTube videos, podcasts, large groups, or instrumentals. Yeti nano has 2 audio recording options , Omni and bidirectional, so made more for podcasts and YouTube videos. It’s also smaller. If you want to check out the nano I did a unboxing of the gold yeti nano, search on YouTube Julian Lonzoe yeti nano. It looks pretty awesome.

User questions & answers

Question:	how close do vocalists need to be compared to SM
Answer:	I use it with my Pro Tools system just fine. Just plug it into your interface and you should be fine.
Question:	I have been told to buy sound equipment, especially mics from shure. is this microphone manufactured buy shure? please let me know
Answer:	The Boss PSA 120 adapter that comes with it is good for 100-240 volts, 50-60 HZ, but you will need a 220V plug adapter for the country you using it in. No USB.
Question:	I received this item on April 13, 2018 and it just stopped working. What is the warranty period for this item
Answer:	The simple answer is yes. What I recommend is downloading the PDF User Guide and review the information on the external switch. You can use an expression pedal and you can control functions. Beyond that, I am not qualified to give you an in-depth review for two reasons: I don't use the product that way, and not really sure what you want to accomplish (i.e., just get the PDF). I will say it is a great product and has some really good sounds!
Question:	Can the SM86 condenser mic work for choir vocals to pick up multiple voices at a distance
Answer:	I don't know. But I suppose if the TC doesn't have an output wattage and is just a signal processor, I don't see why not. You have 1/4" and Mic inputs on the side. I would recommend contacting Boss and asking them directly.
