Thank you for purchasing an MXLV63M studio recording microphone. With proper care, this mic will provide
many years of satisfaction. For best results, please take a few moments to review this literature.

General Characteristics

This microphone has a one-inch gold sputtered diaphr agm and a fairly wide fixed cardioid pickup pattern.
Large capsule condensers are very sensitive, readil y revealing very subtle sonic details. They also tend to
pick up sounds outside the pattern more than some designs, which can lead to powerful feedback if you are
not careful. We strongly advise experimentation with placement and isolation requirements with the gain
initially set low

Power Requirements

IMPORTANT - This unit requires phantom power at 48 volts, +/- 4 volts. Each unit has been thoroughly
checked before shipping, so if you hear no sound, check that the phantom power on your mixer or separate
power supply is switched on!

Isolation Mount

MXL57 Shock mount is available as an option.

Microphone Cables

The microphone cable can have a profound effect on the sound of any microphone. Even the finest
microphones will sound poor if the interconnect cable allows nois e to enter, or causes distortion and loss of
information. Use only the best microphone cable your budget will allow., we recommend Mogami Cable.

Care

Dust and foreign material can degrade the performance of a microphone over time so always store the unit
in its box. For vocals closer than 3”, use a “popper stopper” or a foam windscreen to avoid getting
moisture on the diaphragm as this can substantially degrade the microphone’s performance.
