Limited edition V13 Gen 2 large diaphragm tube condenser mic with Cinemag traansfermer.

These are the result of Derek stumbling upon a few Cinemag transformers on his R&D shelf. Cinemags are some of the best transformers in the business, with rich harmonics and that delicious je ne sais quoi that only high-quality audio transformers can provide. With humbucking rejection, low distortion, and superb bandwidth, these transformers take the already-scrumptious V13 gen2 to new levels of delicious sonic flavor.

In Derek's opinion, the Cinemag adds subtle improvements, particularly in the high end and crucial mid-range frequencies for vocals. Because of the larger transformer core designed by Cinemag, it can also handle higher SPL sources before saturation, giving the V13 more clean headroom for things like guitar amp and kick drum mic'ing.

The Vanguard V13 gen2 is a large-diaphragm multi-pattern tube condenser microphone. Crafted by experts over the course of 3 years, our design goal was to combine vintage warmth with smooth modern detail. After extensive testing and listening by world-class engineers, we can say with pride that the performance of this mic rivals or exceeds iconic vintage & modern microphones at a fraction of the cost.

The gen2 features upgrades including US-made audiophile-grade low-noise resistors, Neutrik Group Connectors, and an upgraded power supply.
