Thank you for purchasing the MXL V69ME Tube studio-recording 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 an internal vacuum tube preamp. As tubes are well known to generate heat, it is

recommended that the V69 be in an inverted position to prevent excess heat from altering the diaphragm

characteristics during continuous usage. For this reason, always take extra care to insure that the V69 is

securely seated in the included shockmount. Additionally, do not “hot plug” the mic. Always make sure that

the power supply is off when plugging and unplugging the included seven-pin mic cable from the

microphone. Large capsule tube 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 hearing) damage!

Power Requirements

IMPORTANT - This unit requires the dedicated power supply. This supply is switchable between 115 volts

and 230 volts AC. In the United States, make sure that the switch on the back of the supply is set to 115.

Every Marshall Electronics MXL mic has been thoroughly checked before shipping; so if you don’t hear

sound, check that the power supply is switched on.

Isolation Mount

The MXL shockmount 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. Use only the finest microphone cable your budget will allow. We highly recommend the Mogami

Cable brand supplied with the microphone.

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.
