OVERVIEW
The Vanguard V44S is a stereo large-diaphragm multi-pattern FET condenser microphone.
Lovingly crafted by experts over 2 years, it is designed to be a versatile, reliable, professional tool
in the vein of highly-sought-after vintage stereo condensers of yesteryear. With a pair of
coincident twin custom-voiced multi-pattern capsules, you can utilize X/Y, Mid-Side, Blumlein,
and other less conventional stereo microphone techniques in a single microphone. With our
proprietary detented heavy-duty rotation mechanism, versatile splitter box, premium
cryogenically-treated FET circuitry, and a VLSM shockmount, the V44S is the first and last stereo
microphone you’ll ever need to reach for.
PERFORMANCE
The
VANGUARD V44S
was conceived and commissioned to establish a new performance
standard at an until now unachievable price point. While being visually stunning, the V44S’s
audio performance will inspire confidence from any artist, engineer or producer, with a sonic
signature that is rich, yet natural, with no high-frequency hype or distortion. We designed the
V44S with the character of yesteryear’s iconic vintage microphones in mind, while also utilizing
the latest technology to ensure that every nuance and detail of the performance is faithfully
captured. Both matched custom-voiced capsules are independently switchable between
cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 pickup patterns to enable several different stereo
recording techniques.
