“The V13 [gen2] is simply a fantastic mic with smart design, quality construction, nearly limitless versatility, and  balanced tone that seems to slightly flatter just about any source…it might soon be your favorite vocal mic, bar none…I can recommend the V13 [gen2] as your first ‘top-shelf mic’ for its price/performance ratio, or as an addition to ‘complete mic closets’. Vanguard has hit the bullseye on this one.”
