No no I'll have a look now :P
God, these MXL mics sure are infamous .(well sort of)

I've read alot of good mic reviews on the MXL V67G both on homerecrording.com and elsewhere but just how good is it?

...good...but not as good as the newly revised MXL 2003A...for a few bucks more the 2003A smokes the V67G...hear for yourself:

I've read alot of good mic reviews on the MXL V67G both on homerecrording.com and elsewhere but just how good is it?

I mean has anyone here used it and if so on what kind of vocal type, i.e baritone, tenor etc, and how did it work out

What were it's pros and cons

And just how much would you recommend it as as a first mic for someone who is looking to start out in the Hip-Hop and R&B genre

Thanks,
Jude

Well, I've had mine for 3 months now....let's see...

Pros:
It's got awesome bang for the buck
It does great recording me (I'm a tenor)...
Awesome proximity. I get intimately close with the mic and sound sexy
It looks sexy. Straight and simple.

Cons:
none that I've found

Good luck

...can't argue with good logic like that!...

The V67 is a very good mic when paired with a great mic pre amp. When I tested it with an A Designs Pacifica, I was very impressed with how it compared to some of my higher end mics. When I tested it with lower end mic pres (like on the mbox) it was not bad but not as impressive.

What I like about the mic is it does not exhibit the harsh high end that so many other cheap condensers do. I have quite a few high end mics, but the V67 still get used.
