Its listed under the name "MXL recording pack" but the picture of the mic has V69 written on it, so it must be Does it compare well to the V67 family?

Where are you seeing this "MXL recording pack" at? At that price I'm betting it's the V67.

I think the Marshall MXLV67G is a great mic. I've never heard the V69 before... but, I think I remember Harvey saying he like's both the V67 and V69... and the V69 sounds like a V67 on steroids

Yup, the pictured mic is definitely a v69, "mogami edition" mic (which is the only version of the v69 I'm aware of; maybe MXL used to make a different one, but I've never heard of it).

What currency is that? What's it convert to in US dollars? And what does this "pack" come with? Is it just 2 mics? Or with shockmounts, or cords, or case???

Here's a v69 kit on Marshall's page:

Currency is in euro's. 169 euros is roughly 200usd.

I have the AT4040 and it sounds great. The low cut filter and -10Db pad switches on the mic are nice options and have come in very handy in my experience. For $299.00 this mic comes with a foam padded carrying case and a shock mount.

It's a great deal.

Checkout a used Sennheiser MD441... it's an awsome mic.

Another A-fricking-men from a converted sinner....

Check this mic out, used prices in the $250 range. Unbeatable at that price.

I'm almost positive that the MXL "pack" consists of 1x 2001 and 1x 603.
And since you will throw away the 2001 and can get the 603 for what? $80? it's a bad deal...

The MXL V69 is for sale at that same dutch store, but costs 289 euro's (+/- US$345)

Isn't the 2001 one of those mic's that works with all of the mic mods that have been published in Tape Op and the other recording mag's in the last year or so? You could look at it as buying a 603 and a project mic.

Audio Technica 4040 or Rode NT1000. Both are about $300 or a little less new.

I concur with these choices.
