The Vanguard Audio Labs V1 gen2 Pencil Microphone Kit an updated version of their award nomindated multicapsule small diaphragm microphone system, that has you covered, no matter the sound source.
The Vanguard Audio Labs V1 gen2 Pencil Microphone Kit give you four matched custom small-diaphragm capsules in 4 pickup patterns – Cardioid, Hypercardioid, Wide Cardioid, and Omnidirectional – allow for a cornucopia of tonal variations for virtually any sound source. Vanguard upgraded the electronics with a high-end dual-monolithic parallel JFET and US-made audiophile resistors for an even better signal-to-noise ratio, and changed the color to a smooth cosmos black for use in stage & video environments. With premium cryogenically-treated FET componentry, American-made audiophile-grade resistors, an unparalleled selection of capsules, and a true heavy-duty VSSM shockmount, the V1 gen2 will be your new “go-to” small-diaphragm condenser microphone, whether you’re in the studio or the field.
The V1 gen2 was designed in the USA, and undergoes final assembly in sunny Southern California. Vanguard performs 100% quality control – every single part of your V1 gen2 kit undergoes a series of stringent audio and visual tests here in Southern California before being hand-packed. We precision-bias each high-grade JFET by hand.
