For a limited time only Vanguard Audio Labs is offering the V4 gen2 Eclipse Edition condenser microphones in an exclusive cosmos-black. These Eclipse Edition versions will only be offered for a short time, and in very limited quantities. Don’t miss out on one of these totally historic editions!
 
The V4 gen2 is designed with certain characteristics of classic FET microphones in mind, while also utilizing modern technology and design to meet the demands of today’s recording professionals. Their ultra-thin 3µm edge-terminated capsule diaphragms are extraordinarily sensitive, ensuring that every nuance and detail of the performance is faithfully captured. The signal and power paths of the V4 gen2 are identical to a single channel of the V44S, but also includes a simple -10/-20dB pad option.

Central to the V4 gen2’s performance is an extra-large 34mm edge-terminated, gold-sputtered 3µm Mylar dual-capsule assembly, custom-voiced with a proprietary hand-tuning process. The capsule is mounted in an open-weave headbasket for a natural sound with low internal reflections.

A transformerless solid-state circuit matches the unique musical properties of the capsule, and is loaded with premium-grade, over-spec components sourced from manufacturers around the world, including Germany, Japan, and the USA.
 
Vanguard Audio Labs’ deep-cycle cryogenically treat critical components in the signal & power paths, including an ultra-high-grade FET.  As one of the most critical components in the signal path, Vanguard Audio Labs tested several premium-grade transistors before deciding on one particular model, an American-made audiophile-grade transistor yielding results that are significant & audible improvements in audio quality, headroom, distortion, sound-stage and noise floor vs. standard-grade JFET transistors.
 
Precision-built to “no-compromise” standards, Vanguard Audio Labs is confident the V4 gen2 will vastly exceed the performance of other microphones in its price range, and rival the performance of microphones costing several times more.
