VX5
OVERVIEW:
The VX5 is a professional vocal condenser microphone designed for a wide
variety of live, studio and broadcast applications. With an ability to duplicate
studio quality sound on stage, the VX5 is known for its smooth and accurate
frequency response, resistance to feedback and ability to handle very high
sound pressure levels without distortion.
The VX5 is characterized with a tight and uniformly controlled supercardioid
polar pattern which helps to isolate the vocals from the rest of the instruments
on stage. With a wide frequency range of 40 Hz - 16.5 kHz, the VX5 has a very
clean and natural sound with exceptional transient response.
Other features include a 14 mm gold vapor diaphragm, an acoustically ported
steel mesh grill with multi-stage pop lter and a -10 dB pad and bass roll-off lter.
The VX5 will handle sound pressure levels in excess of 140 dB (with pad and
roll-off engaged) and will provide over 20 dB of ambient noise rejection on live
stages.
In addition to vocal applications, the VX5 is ideally suited to capture acoustic
instruments such as guitar, woodwinds, brass, percussion toys, drum overheads,
hi-hat and piano. It is an excellent choice for home studio recording.
The VX5 is well balanced, comfortable to hold, durable, and manufactured with
very high standards and tight tolerances. The VX5 includes a precision die
cast zinc alloy, black E-coat nish, laser etched model and serial number, gold
plated XLR connector and a heavy duty nylon clip. This mic requires 9 - 52 volts
phantom power.
