The second-generation Vanguard V13 represents a meticulous reimagining of the classic large-diaphragm multi-pattern tube condenser microphone. Over a two-year period, the design team focused on improving the original V13’s legacy, infusing it with modern detail and vintage warmth. The V13 gen2 boasts upgraded features, including a new power supply, cryogenically-treated tube circuitry with US-made audiophile-grade resistors, Neutrik Group interconnects, and a VLSM shockmount.
