“So my Vanguard V13 gen2 arrived earlier this week and holy wow DO I LOVE THIS MICROPHONE. From first opening the package to the first use of it on a whole bunch of instruments and voices it has been a quality experience. Very grateful for the people who thought it up and the people who made it – it’s a beautiful thing to behold. Physically beautiful to look at, and functionally a great pleasure to listen to…it’s proven one of my best purchases. On drum room duty it gets as big as I could ever want without any cymbal hash, on vocals it is present and meaty but never strident, and on acoustic guitar it makes the dang thing sound better than it actually does in the room. My only problem with it is that I only have one. Will be getting another as soon as finances allow. This is a really special microphone – thanks for making it!”
