MXL V67Q Stereo
Manual
Thank you for purchasing the MXL V67Q Stereo studio-record-
ing microphone. MXL microphones are the result of world-class
engineering and manufacturing capabilities. They are designed to
provide you with outstanding performance and exceptional value.
With proper care, this mic will provide many years of satisfaction.
For best results, please take a few moments to review this literature.
Microphone Cables
A special 10 foot cable is included with the microphone. This
cable has a 5 pin connection on one end and two XLR con-
nections on the other and is required for stereo microphones.
The left channel is designated by a white shrink tube while
the right channel is designated by a red shrink tube. The
microphone cable can have a profound effect on the sound
of any microphone. Even the finest microphones will sound
poor if the interconnection cable allows noise to enter, or
causes distortion and loss of information.
General Characteristics
This microphone has two 20 mm gold diaphragm capsules in an
X/Y pattern for stereo recording. The capsule behind the “L” is
more sensitive to sound waves arriving from the left side of the
microphone as opposed to those arriving from the right side. The
capsule behind the “R” is just the opposite. To achieve true stereo
sound, each channel must be panned to its respective left or right
side.
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 wind-
screen to avoid getting moisture on the diaphragm as this can
substantially degrade the microphone’s performance. Store
the microphone in its original packaging, or the included zip-
per pouch.
Power Requirements
IMPORTANT – This microphone requires phantom power at 48
volts, +/- 4 volts. Phantom power must be supplied to the left
channel (white shrink tube) in order for the microphone to receive
power. No damage will be done if phantom power is also supplied
to the right channel (red shrink tube), but the microphone will not
function if phantom power is supplied only to the right channel
(red shrink tube).
Warranty
Marshall microphones are guaranteed against defects in mate-
rial and workmanship for three years from date of purchase.
Should you encounter any problem with this unit, promptly

Isolation Mount
An OPTIONAL MXL-57 shock mount can be purchased for this
microphone. It is a high isolation shock mount used to reduce
rumble and other unwanted vibrations transmitted through the mic
stand. Contact your local MXL dealer for purchasing information.
