Celebrate the 2024 total solar eclipse with a historic large-diaphragm stereo condenser.
The Vanguard Audio Labs V44S gen2 Eclipse Edition condenser microphone gives you a piece of recording history. Lovingly crafted over two years, Vanguard Audio Labs created this limited-edition mic to celebrate the 2024 total solar eclipse. With its exclusive lush cosmos-black finish and unique laser-engraved eclipse design, this stereo large-diaphragm condenser mic provides versatile, vintage-inspired tone for professionals.
Premium Components for Pristine Capture
As an Eclipse Edition mic, each V44S gen2 undergoes rigorous testing and tuning to meet Vanguard Audio's high standards. Its capsules provide multi-pattern flexibility for coincident X/Y, Mid-Side, Blumlein and unconventional stereo recording techniques. Premium cryogenically treated FET circuitry and transformer deliver transparent, low-noise signal capture. With premium components throughout, this mic gives your recordings a sense of depth and richness reminiscent of sought-after vintage mics.
All-Metal Build for Roadworthiness
Although this mic celebrates a historic celestial event, Vanguard Audio built it to withstand the rigors of professional use. Its sturdy all-metal body and grille can handle the variances of studio and live environments. The V44S gen2 Eclipse Edition's heavy-duty rotation mechanism allows precise capsule positioning and locks firmly in place. Its shockmount, splitter box and cables are also ruggedly constructed. This mic's premium design ensures years of pristine capture for critical recordings and live performances.
Versatile for Capturing Any Source
With its stereo multi-pattern capsules, premium components and roadworthy build, the V44S gen2 Eclipse Edition condenser mic excels on a wide range of sources. It captures pianos, drums, acoustic guitars, stringed and horn ensembles with stunning realism. Orchestral recordings come alive with depth and nuance. Vocals ring clear with articulate highs and rich lows. For sound design, foley recording and A/B'ing signal chains, this mic provides accurate stereo imaging and transparent tone.
A Piece of Recording History
As a limited-edition mic, the V44S gen2 Eclipse Edition lets you own a piece of recording history. Its cosmos-black finish and unique eclipse engraving commemorate the 2024 solar eclipse, giving this mic collectability.
