Grammy-Nominated Engineer (Doja Cat, Chromeo, Ty Dolla $ign)

“I thought the V13 sounded big and beautiful and detailed and I was really impressed with the headroom on belted male vocals. No matter how close the singer got or how hard they were pushing their voice the mic always handled it with ease and never got crunchy or boxy which I thought was really impressive.

…you guys are doing truly amazing things, especially in terms of price vs performance. The V13 is a really serious microphone, my biggest wish is that this mic had been available ten years ago when I was still actively building my mic locker and recording nothing but live instruments.

I will be happily recommending it to any and all engineers/producers who ask me for a recommendation of an honest and detailed LDC with a more open top and a rich, euphonic midrange.”
