Description
The VR88 features a fine, pure aluminum corrugated foil ribbon suspended within an intense neodymium field producing a warm and natural response that’s silky smooth from bottom to top. The VR88 combines the sweetness of traditional classic ribbon technology with the precision and versatility of advanced condenser microphone head-amplifier electronics. Like a modern condenser microphone, the VR88 operates on standard 48-volt phantom power. This provides the VR88 with a high output that’s compatible with any mic pre amplifier. Unlike old ribbon microphones, you don’t have to worry about impedance mis-matches and the VR88 has no problems with long cable runs. The VR88 is capable of handling high sound pressure levels (135 dB), making it an excellent choice for miking vocals, as well as acoustic instruments and even percussion or loud guitar amplifier stacks.
