Hello,

I searched for this subject, but didn't find anything definative... I
certainly found a lot of reviews and opinions regarding the MXL V67,
but didn't find any posts regarding experience with the V69. It
apparently wasn't out when Hank did his mega MXL review. I'm wondering
if Hank or anyone else has actually heard this thing, and what their
thoughts were.
Thanks for your time......

I own one; do yourself a HUGE favor and get one! Silky smooth on every male
and female vocalist I have put it up to! Makes a KILLER ambiant kick drum mike
from about 12 inches out. I am happy!

While I apprecaite the implied fame, Kirt, I think you must be thinking
of Harvey. We look a lot alike, but he's considerably more agile.

I've never used an MXL mic!

Hank, (or was it Bill, or Dave, or Tom, or.....)

My apologies. Sometimes I forget my own name. I'll get it right next time. Maybe.

12 inches out is "ambient"?

12 inches out is "ambient"?

when micing a kick drum, the mic INSIDE the kick is called the spot mic. The
mic outside the kick, whether it be a foot or three feet is commonly referred
to as the ambient kick mic. Depending on the kick and the room, from one foot
to two feet is usually were I find the sweet spot for what I refer to as "kick
air".

I generally mic drums that have heads on them. Heads on both sides of
the drum(s). So a spot mic might be 12 inches from the kick and an
ambient mic many feet away.

It wasn't "implied fame", Hank; I think it was an insult.

They ain't too bad. I recorded a bluegrass band, using all $70 MXL 603s on
every instrument (except for the standup bass where I used the $35 Behringer
ECM8000 Omni), and MXL V77s for the vocals. Turned out pretty good.

The MXL V69 at $300 is a VERY NICE mic.

I don't mind being confused with Harvey. We're both pretty easily confused.

Huh?
