The Shure VP88 is a single-point, stereo condenser microphone for use in professional studio recording, field production, electronic news gathering (ENG), and studio broadcasting applications.
The Shure VP88 combines two condenser cartridges in a single housing to create a stereo audio image of the sound source. The VP88 uses a mid-side (M-S) configuration. One microphone cartridge (Mid) faces forward to capture on-axis sound using a cardioid pickup pattern. The other microphone cartridge (Side) is bi-directional, capturing sound from either side. This mic contains an internal M-S matrix with three settings for different degrees of stereo image separation. Switches on the top of the microphone control output mode, stereo imaging, low-frequency roll-off settings, and battery on/off.
VP88 - Includes "Y-splitter" cable, foam windscreen, stand adapter, 6V battery and zippered storage bag. Phantom power or included battery required
