Sound Profile:
The VIP-60 delivers a natural, unhyped sound signature that engineers compare to vintage classics like the Neumann KM84 or even a ribbon mic. It’s not “airy” or hyped—just clean, dimensional, and musical. In omni and wide-cardioid modes, it opens up with rich depth. In tighter patterns, it offers control, focus, and warmth. It excels on vocals, stringed instruments, guitar amps, upright bass, and more.
This is a modern studio classic—refined, reliable, and designed to be the centerpiece mic in any high-end studio. Backed by decades of Swedish engineering and field-tested by engineers around the world.
