Description: A thoughtful redesign of the Vanguard Audio Labs V4 yields a studio-grade microphone with enhanced key components using audiophile-grade parts that result in a lower signal-to-noise ratio and significantly improved sound staging. A meticulous redesign of every mechanical component ensures not only world-class performance but also a striking appearance. Crafted with care in sunny Southern California, each V4 gen2 undergoes rigorous audio and visual tests to guarantee robustness and reliability, backed by a FIVE-YEAR WARRANTY. Designed with characteristics of classic FET microphones, the V4 utilizes ultra-thin 3µm edge-terminated capsule diaphragms to capture every nuance with remarkable sensitivity and depth. Responding to user feedback, the V4 was created as a compact "mono" version of the lauded V44S, maintaining its clean, full character and adding a -10/-20dB pad option for versatility. Precision-built to "no-compromise" standards, the V4 features premium-grade components, including a deep-cycle cryogenically treated ultra-high-grade FET, ensuring superior audio quality, distortion-free performance, and a remarkably low noise floor. Aesthetically, the stainless steel body coated with a gorgeous Pinot Noir finish exudes elegance, complemented by polished nickel trim and a laser-engraved serial number. Backed by a team of experts with over a century of experience, the VANGUARD V4 gen2 is a testament to our commitment to excellence in microphone design and performance.Vanguard Audio Labs V4 gen2 Includes:VLSM Large ShockmountPadded Pinewood Microphone Storage BoxAluminum Carrying CaseVanguard Audio Labs V4 gen2 Features:Custom-voiced, edge-terminated 34mm dual-capsule assembly with 3µm gold-sputtered Mylar diaphragms3 selectable polar patterns – Cardioid, Figure-8, OmnidirectionalSwitchable-10/-20 dB AttenuatorElectronically-balanced solid-state circuitry loaded with American-made audiophile-grade componentsUltra-low-noise JFET designDeep-cycle cryogenic treatment of critical signal & power path componentsNeutrik® interconnectsHeavy-duty SUS304 stainless steel, aircraft-grade aluminum, and zinc constructionOpen-weave headbasket for low internal reflections and “open-air” voicingEach V4 comes with its own laser-engraved serial numberOver-spec componentryDeep-gloss Pinot Noir finishPolished nickel trimPrecision-cast Vanguard badgeFinal Assembly & 100% Quality Control in California, USA5-Year WarrantyVanguard Audio Labs V4 gen2 Specifications:Transducer Type: CondenserCapsule Size: 1.34″ / 34mm (dual-capsule)Diaphragm Size: 1.04″ / 26.4mmCapsule Diaphragms Thickness: 3µmElectronics Type: Solid-state, electronically-balanced outputOutput Impedance: 200ΩMax SPL: appx. 135dB (145dB w/ Pad)Frequency Response: 20Hz-20000HzEquivalent Noise Level: ≤12dBA (A-weighted)SNR: ≥82dBA (A-weighted)Output Connector: Neutrik® male XLR 3-pin, gold-platedAttenuation/Pad Switch: -10dB/ -20dB (switchable)Finish: Polished nickel trim / High-gloss Pinot NoirWeight (microphone): 0.83 lbs / 0.38 kgWeight (in case): 5.63 lbs / 2.56 kgDimensions (microphone): 8.2″ long, 2.05″ diameter / 208mm long, 52mm diameterDimensions (case): 12″L x 11″W x 5.75″H / 305mmL x 280mmW x 146mmHVoltage Requirement: Phantom Power (+48V ideal)
