Premium Components for Pristine Audio Vanguard Audio Labs hand-selected audiophile-grade components from manufacturers around the world to build the V13 Gen 2. Low-noise resistors, cryogenically treated tubes and a custom-wound humbucking transformer provide an linear signal path for the cleanest audio. All connectors are from Neutrik, a leader in pro audio connectors, ensuring high quality from mic to cable to power supply. The redesigned power supply has additional headroom to power the V13 Gen 2's tube circuit for noise-free operation. Handcrafted Dual-Capsule Design At the heart of the V13 Gen 2 is an edge-terminated dual-capsule condenser assembly. Vanguard Audio Labs precision-tuned each capsule to capture a natural sound with rich lows, detailed mids and smooth highs. An open-weave headbasket reduces internal reflections for transparent audio. Vanguard Audio Labs designed a tube circuit to match the capsules' precise characteristics, loading premium components to faithfully amplify the capsules' signal. The result is a mic with the musicality of a coveted vintage mic and the accuracy of a state-of-the-art modern mic. Sonic Versatility With its multi-pattern design, the V13 Gen 2 gives you tonal flexibility in any recording scenario. A -10dB pad attenuates high SPLs for close-micing loud sound sources, while a low-cut filter removes rumble below 70Hz. On the power supply, a pattern select switch lets you change polar patterns remotely. Whether on vocals, acoustic instruments, drums or amps, the V13 Gen 2 has the versatility to capture any source. Built to Last Vanguard Audio Labs precision-machined the V13 Gen 2's stainless steel body for durability and premium feel. Their trademark Pinot Noir finish, with its deep, lustrous gloss and polished nickel accents, gives the mic a luxurious look built to stand the test of time. With its upgraded capsule suspension and transformer, the V13 Gen 2 is a road-worthy mic ready to record in any environment. As an investment, the V13 Gen 2 delivers professional-grade performance and construction for years of inspired recordings.
