"The Vanguard V13 Gen2 sounds about as gorgeous as it looks. It's a large-diaphragm multi-pattern tube microphone with a very smooth and modern sound. It's detailed but with the character and warmth of older vintage microphones. This unique character of the V13 makes it a great mic for all vocal applications, as well as for use with stringed acoustic instruments. The V13 gen2 is Vanguard's flagship microphone and when you hear it in action, it's obvious why."
