MXL V63m Headbasket Mod
The Headbasket Mod, which, basically, involves removing the inner mesh linings of the headbasket, leaving just the outer mesh, is fairly easy, once you get over being nervous that you are going to damage the outer mesh. This mod opens up the headbasket considerably, and seems to be commonally recognised as a worthwhile mod. One disadvantage to this mod is that it removes some protection for the capsule, but if you are willing to treat you mics carefully, and protect them with a pop guard when using them with vocals, the improvement is worth it, in our opinion.
The first step is to remove the body in order to get at the screws that hold the headbasket to the top plate which is located just above the circuit boards. Unscrew the base, and slide off the body. Looking under the plate that the headbasket is attached to, you will find two screws that attach the headbasket to the plate above the circuit boards.
The process for removing the inner 2 layers of mesh is the same as for the V67g, which we describe here.
