“Normally [for SDCs] we use more expensive microphones of a small German family company, but we did not notice any quality loss with the V1. Compared to our [usual SDCs], V1 has a slightly flatter and less boomy sound…listening is very pleasant. Later, I was once again convinced that the Vanguard guys knew what they were doing. I recorded solo violin and used V1 as the main microphone. I did not use either an equalizer or a compressor…The sound of the violin was pleasing to me right away. “Being a microphone of this quality and with so many accessories, [the V1] is a real win. I am convinced that Vanguard microphones will serve you in any demanding recording and will be honored alongside more expensive models.” [translated from Czech]
