should i buy a MXL V67?

[swsmusic]

I have been reading all of the posts on the greatness of that new mxl v67. I was wondering if I should buy one to add to my mic locker. Could someone offer some advice? I was also wondering if anyone has had the chance to test the rode ntv & the ntk side by side? This is what i own so far:

rode nt2
rode ntv
s.p. c1
at 4041 (matched pair)
sm57's

Thanks!

should you buy it...yeah ...go for it!

Supposedly, it will sound a lot like your C1, so do you NEED one, probably not.

But then again, it's $100, so just buy it. Question should be HOW MANY should you buy?

$100?????

100 buckaroonies, straight from our friends at Mars Music.

They must have read my "sheep" comment on the bbs and decided to lay this issue to rest. ba-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

I wonder if Mars is phasing this mic out? I must ask a friend-employee tomorrow. does anyone have any thoughts on the ntv vs. ntk???

Well... if it reallty IS 100$, just go ahead and buy one.. it's really a win-win situation...

You guys all have the v67 confused with the v63. the 67 is the one with some ok reviews here. the v63 is the one on sale for 100.00 at the mars.

Id save a little more for a mic thats a little more and get the v67 or a C1, a nady scm1100 tube mic is like 200.00 (Harvey has one in his cabinet, I have to wonder what he's using it for)

I have a NAdy SCM1000 multi-pattern, not the SCM1100. The mic was given to me, and mostly I loan it out to other people. It's an okay mic.

Nope, the V67 is $99. The V63 is $79.

capitalists pigs, I hate you all!

it's $400 here in Argentina!

(BTW, I am just kidding about the pig thing)

And they only have the black one.

(note to self: try to get out of the Third World ASAP)

HOLY BAKED HERRING BATMAN!

They are down to $100.

Durnit. And I bought one when I thought the $129 price was great. Now I might have to get another to have a stereo pair.

Cool! A hundred clams for a V67--yes, it IS the V67 on sale. I say get down there and get one before they sell out. Hope they don't discontinue them either

 

[swsmusic]

i got a killer deal on the v67m and a shockmount for $115 with tax. it was the last of these they had. the salesman, who is a friend of mine, said they were told by the distributor that mars wasn't getting any more of this model, it was being discontinued.

so, GO GET ONE while you can!!!

I just bought three of them.

One of them I'm giving as a present to the guy who's designing my web site for me for free (he's also a singer).

And two for me. I'm sure I'll find some use for them.

 

[hixmix]

yes, you should buy it.
