Just noticed a 50% off list sale at JZ.
I thought they sounded very good, when testing them at NAMM.
I'm not affiliated in any way BTW.

(just in case: kidding. JZ made the great Blue Bottle)

I have the V67. It is indeed excellent sounding. I kinda wish they didn't have such esoteric mic clip mechanisms. But the sound is excellent.

Love my V11 pair. Also their (sister?) company Violet makes some great sounding, classy looking mics. I use a pair of the SDC Gold Fingers and Violet Amethyst Vintage often with great results.

IMHO the V11 is a very good vocal Mic.
Despite my bright voice...
No undue sibilance noted.

Would the V11 be a decent vocal mic? How is the sibilance? Is it colored or just a strong low end bump? The V11’s character is on the darker side with a smooth top end and healthy proximity response. If a ribbon was a cardioid LDC, this might be it. I’ve used mine on spoken word and podcasts including a baritone male and a bright female voice and have seldom needed to reach for a deesser. I like the pair for stereo overheads as well, meaty without the cymbals getting harsh. |

Here's the link, by the way usashop.jzmic.com/ Sadly, all their audio samples are on soundcloud, which I wouldn't trust to showcase a whistling kettle sample. 24/48 wav file samples would REALLY help me pull the trigger. And into a neitral preamp like a Grace M101, and no compression limiting EQ or effects as well, please. |

I’d be surprised if you got a V67 and weren’t happy with it. |

If I were beginning a vocal mic collection now...
JZ11 would be a very serious consideration.

Yep I still have my JZ V67. I actually really like it. It had the same capsule as my other JZ V47 mic but there was something nice about the V67 that made me keep it over the V47. I also own the BH2 and that is a super clean detailed mic. No problems with these mics. I might be tempted to get a BH1 one day.

I only stopped using my v67 when I got a Neumann U67. And still, I don’t think I’ll sell the JZ!

I brought it with me when I tested the mic at Funky Junk in London. I remember we plugged it in last, and said “it sounds dull, doesn’t it?” But that’s the only time I compared them head to head. FWIW I never thought the v67 was dull, and I’ve never found the U67 reissue to be bright. Weird! |

The v67s sell like they could be cool for overheads, but I don't want something too dark. I mostly work on modern learning productions -- pop, punk, rock. |

I think it’s a great vocal mic, never had any complaints. Nice in acoustic guitars as well.

If you want to hear a JZ V67 on some vocals for an EP I did:

Yup, Vox sounds fine in tone and placement!

Do you ever wish you had a pair of v67?

Yeah, the built in "shock mount" does little to nothing to prevent shocks, and I haven't been able to mount it on anything. And I've tried! Maybe it's possible to get a very short microphone bar so you can slide that into a Rycote. I almost succeeded with that plan but I couldn't find the right one. |

Do you ever wish you had a pair of v67? I would love a pair of v67s for sure... If I didn't have a couple other stereo pairs already I'd be tempted. I used it mono in front of a drum kit sometimes or as a mono overhead, sounds good! |
