The V44S gen2 is a multi-pattern stereo FET condenser microphone. It features an ultra-low-noise JFET circuit, twin custom-voiced edge-terminated 34 mm capsules with 3 micron thick, gold sputtered mylar diaphragms, a newly redesigned detented heavy-duty rotation mechanism and cryogenically treated critical signal path components. It can be used for X/Y, Blumlein and Mid-Side recordings. The top capsule is now rotatable by 120° (compared to the older 90° of the first generation version) in 15° detents. This new gen2 features high quality American made audiophile-grade components for lower self-noise and a deeper soundstage. Includes shock mount, wooden microphone box, splitter box with Mid-Side outputs and flight case.
