MILAB VIP-60 Multipattern Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

An updated version of the VIP-50, the Milab VIP-60 from Pearl Microphone Labs is a large-diaphragm multipattern condenser microphone built around the classic Milab 2700 capsule originally developed in the 1980s. The original VIP-60 capsule's unusual rectangular design delivers a distinctive sound profile that combines the vintage warmth of a ribbon mic with the crisp high-end of a condenser, making it a popular choice as a vocal microphone for a wide range of artists including Michael Jackson, Drake, Jeff Buckley, Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, and many others. This VIP-60 version of the capsule was developed over a rigorous 18-month testing period, delivering an update with superior performance and a 4 dB lower noise floor.
