“Once again, Vanguard is delivering features and options that you can get at a price you can’t find anywhere else.”

– Christopher Smith, AudioCzar
Vanguard Audio Labs V1 + LOLLI Pencil Condenser Microphone Kit

Design

The V1+LOLLI was designed to be robust and reliable. Wherever possible parts and circuitry have been over-specced. Deep-cycle cryogenic treatment improves the lifespan and performance of critical electronic components, whilst brass, steel and zinc heavy-duty construction ensure their safety.

Four interchangeable capsules give you unmatched flexibility – cardioid, wide cardioid, hyper cardioid, and omnidirectional. Ultra-sensitive 4-micron diaphragms, an anti-comb-filtering front design, and precision-machined backplates give wide consistency across each capsule.

Every Vanguard Audio Labs microphone is backed with a FIVE-YEAR WARRANTY.

Performance

Adding the LOLLI will have your V1 excelling in almost any recording situation, with vocals being of particular note. The V34C Capsule houses an extra-large 34mm edge-terminated, gold-sputtered 3µm Mylar dual-capsule assembly which is custom-voiced with a proprietary hand-tuning process.

The switch at the top of the capsule allows the user to switch between cardioid and omnidrectional, making your microphone even more versatile.

The V34C is the partner you never knew you needed for your Vanguard V1. And if you want to step up your game even further, you can invest in the stereo pair bundle of the V1S+LOLLI! Make this your go to set of mics!
