Product Description
The Vanguard Audio Labs V1+LOLLI gen2 is a multi-capsule FET pencil condenser microphone. Five total custom-voiced capsules – large- and small-diaphragm, and with 6 pickup patterns – allow for a cornucopia of tonal variations for virtually any sound source or recording situation. With premium cryogenically-treated FET components, an unparalleled selection of capsules, and a true heavy-duty shock mount, the V1+LOLLI gen2 is the most versatile microphone system you’ll find.
COMPLETE CONDENSER SYSTEM
The set comprises of the Vanguard V1 gen2 Microphone which features ultra-quality precision-biased JFET, a custom-wound transformer, premium capacitors, and cryogenic treatment throughout. It can be used with the four interchangeable 22mm cardioid, wide cardioid, hypercardioid, and omnidirectional capsules giving you unmatched flexibility. Ultra-sensitive 4-micron diaphragms, an anti-comb-filtering front design, and precision-machined backplates give wide consistency across each capsule. The included V34C gen2 “LOLLI” removable multi-pattern large-diaphragm capsule head features a custom-voiced 34mm edge-terminated 3-micron diaphragm dual-capsule assembly housed in a precision-machined aircraft-grade aluminum body.
The VSSM Shock Mount is the best pencil shock mount in the universe. Heavy-duty cast zinc partners with high-impact ABS to create a shock mount that stays where it’s supposed to. Aerospace-grade suspension rings keep the rumble out (no hair scrunchies here!), and a windowed design allows you to easily access switches without changing the your mic placement. Because your microphones should stay safe in luxury, the entire package is delivered in a locking aluminum storage case. Custom-cut high-density foam keeps your mics and capsules cozy and secure.
VANGUARD'S NO COMPROMISE DESIGN
Vanguard's small-diaphragm capsules begin with a 16mm 4µm gold-sputtered Mylar diaphragm, carefully positioned in front of a precision-machined, custom-voiced backplate. The housing brings the diaphragm as close as possible to the front of the capsule, preventing comb filtering. The V34C gen2 “LOLLI” Capsule employs an extra-large 34mm edge-terminated, gold-sputtered 3µm Mylar dual-capsule assembly which is custom-voiced with a proprietary hand-tuning process. It is placed in a shock mount saddle nestled in a retro-aesthetic chassis CNC-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminum billets. Open-weave mesh, a carefully radiused interior, and precision-machined venting prevent standing reflections and allow for an “open-air” voicing.
UNPARALLELED QUALITY
The V1+LOLLI gen2 was designed in the USA, and undergoes final assembly in Portland, OR. Vanguard perform 100% quality control – every single piece of your V1+LOLLI gen2 kit undergoes a series of stringent audio and visual tests here in Hatfield before being hand-packed. Vanguard's builders precision-bias each high-grade JFET by hand on a calibrated analog oscilloscope (a Tektronix 465B). Every part of the V1+LOLLI gen2 was designed to be robust and reliable. Wherever possible, the circuitry is over-spec’ed. Deep-cycle cryogenic treatment improves the lifespan and performance of critical electronic components. Brass, steel, aircraft-grade aluminum and zinc are part of the heavy-duty construction.
