The Vanguard V1S kit was created to be your most flexible and adaptable microphone system. The matched pair of four small capsules allow tonal variety on any number of sources and exceptionally well-suited for close-to-medium-range mic’ing of acoustic guitar, percussion, drums, piano, and stringed instruments.
The V1S Stereo Matched Condenser Pair were 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.
Every Vanguard Audio Labs microphone is backed with a FIVE-YEAR WARRANTY.
The V1S Kit was created to be the most flexible and adaptable microphone system yet. The four interchangeable capsules allow tonal variety on any number of sources.
After hundreds of hours of listening and testing exhaustive design variations, with world-class engineers, Vanguard Audio Labs are confident that this microphone will exceed the performance of other pencil condensers in its price range, rivaling the performance of microphones costing several times more.
Four interchangeable capsules give you unmatched flexibility for each microphone – 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.
If you wanted to another level to your V1S toolkit, the V34C “LOLLI” or the V1S+LOLLI are the way forward. The LOLLI capsule couples the smooth, lush sound of the custom-voiced Vanguard Audio Labs V13 capsule with the precision and detail of the V1S microphones.
The V1S Stereo Matched Pair pencil condenser capsule is coupled to a transformer-balanced solid-state circuit that matches the unique musical properties of the capsules and is loaded with premium-grade, over-spec components. The circuit is designed with an “In = Out” philosophy, with only four components present in the signal path.
Aesthetically, Vanguard Audio Labs believe the microphones should look as good as they sound. The machined brass body is coated with our signature Pinot Noir hue and is then finished with a deep gloss, accented by polished nickel trim.
