V34C gen2 LOLLI

The V34C gen2 “LOLLI” is a removable multi-pattern large-diaphragm capsule head. We started with our custom-voiced 34mm 3-micron capsule. We then suspended it an aircraft-grade aluminum chassis which is carefully vented and radiused to minimize standing wave resonances. The V34C gen2 will fit on any microphone with M21x0.5 threading.

Lovingly crafted by experts, it is made to fit a variety of small-diaphragm “pencil” microphones from several manufacturers. With the V34C gen2, you can convert your instrument mic into a large-diaphragm, multi-pattern recording tool in seconds.

Overview

Performance

We designed the V34C gen2 around our proprietary custom-voiced dual-diaphragm capsule we use in our V44S and V13 microphones. The capsule is voiced for warm, full lows, a precise and detailed midrange, and buttery-smooth high end, a combination of hallmarks from yesteryear’s iconic microphones. The ultra-thin, edge-terminated diaphragms result in incredible sensitivity and detail.

The switch on the top of the V34C gen2 capsule allows the user to switch between cardioid and omnidirectional, making your microphone even more versatile.

The V34C gen2 s truly a professional, world-class microphone capsule, and will make a pencil condenser into an incredibly useful studio tool.

Design

At Vanguard Audio Labs, we  aim to be very different from other brands in our price range. The V34C gen2 is designed and precision-built in limited quantities to “no-compromise” standards.

The V34C gen2 houses an extra-large 34mm edge-terminated, gold-sputtered 3µm Mylar dual-capsule assembly which is custom-voiced with a proprietary hand-tuning process. We then place it in a shockmount saddle nestled in a retro-aesthetic chassis, which is CNC-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminum billets. Open-weave mesh, carefully radiused interior, and precision-machined venting prevent standing reflections and allow for an “open-air” voicing.

The aircraft-grade aluminum housing harkens back to the classic broadcast microphones of yesteryear. The gold grill mesh denotes the front side of the capsule.

The V34C gen2 was designed by a team of experts with more than 65 years of experience and vetted by world-famous award-winning engineers and producers.

Quality

The V34C gen2 was designed in the USA, and undergoes final assembly in Portland, Oregon. We perform 100% quality control – every single part of a microphone undergoes a series of stringent audio and visual tests before being hand-packed.

Every component of the V34C gen2 was designed to be robust and reliable, from the precision-machined chassis to the custom suspension saddle. We stand behind every Vanguard product with our FIVE-YEAR WARRANTY.
