Pure Cardioid

Continuing the “pure cardioid” series we distill the essence of our successful tube microphones VM1 and VMX into two new models with a cardioid pattern only. Keeping the well-known high-class look & feel, these two new microphones show their exceptional qualities in solo recordings and achieve an even better self noise due to their fixed pattern. Their attractive price appeals to home studio enthusiasts all the way to the most demanding audio purists who do not require the variable patterns offered in the classic VM1 or VMX, and simultaneously make no compromises in sound quality.

All “pure cardioid” microphones are shipped in a sturdy aluminum case with power supply, VOVOX TubeLink cable and an elastic suspension.
