Milab VIP-60 Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone
Milab hand-builds the VIP-60, a multi-pattern studio condenser microphone with two low-cut filters and two pads.
Its five patterns are cardioid, wide cardioid, hypercardioid, omni, and bidirectional.
Switchable filters at 200 Hz and 500 Hz take out low end, which helps with the proximity effect when the microphone sits close to a guitar amp or a double bass. The -10 dB and -20 dB pads raise the maximum SPL from 118 dB to 128 dB and 138 dB for loud sources.
Self-noise is 14 dB (A-weighted), and sensitivity is 14 mV/Pa at 1 kHz. The VIP-60 runs on 48 V phantom power at 4 mA and connects by 3-pin XLR, with an output impedance under 200 ohms.
A Rycote InVision USM shockmount and an individual frequency response graph come with each microphone. Milab also builds factory-matched pairs.
