“When I first tried the Vanguard V4 I was blown away by how incredibly rich & smooth it sounded on vocals and acoustic guitar. The V44S has also become an indispensable tool in my studio and it’s been used on everything from drums, guitars and even traditional instruments. Capturing every single detail and nuance of the sound source. Setting up for a stereo recording is a breeze and the versatility from it’s multiple polar patterns allows me to experiment with the different setups ranging from X-Y, Blumlein to M-S with ease.”
