Vanguard Audio Labs Custom Shop now offering Custom Laser Engraving! 

With our new laser engraver, you can add customizations to any of your Vanguard microphones...Studio logos, an inspirational quote, sharks with frickin’ laser beams on their heads…we can do pretty much anything!

When you purchase this, our team will reach out to you to finalize your design. You’ll receive a proof of the design from our team and we will need your final approval before we run the engraving process.

By purchasing, you acknowledge a few considerations - 

The rear of the V13 is vented for the tube, so the available engraving space will be necessarily smaller

If purchasing this for a previously-purchased microphone, please note that you will need to ship your microphone body in at your own cost and pay for return shipping.

Gen1 mics utilize a C330 brass material, whereas gen2 mics we are using SUS304 stainless steel material. The look on a gen1 mic will be very different than a gen2.

For logo's or other images, you must upload an exact file of what you would like to create the design. Derek sucks at graphic design, you wouldn't like it anyways.

Due to the customizable one-of-a-kind nature of this process, please note that this makes your purchase non-refundable.

Once the design has written approval, it is set in stone. Requesting any further changes after final approval would warrant an additional engraving charge.

The lush sound of a vintage German classic, but with the ability to handle super high SPLs in a transformerless design. The original K47 capsule was the heart of Neumann's U47, U48 and M49, as well as the classic U47FET.

Sonically, the K47 capsule differs from our standard capsule in a couple of ways: first, in the area of the presence boost, normally for us a slight 2-3 dB bump around 10k, the K47 has a punchy mid-forward boost in the 2-5k region. The low frequnecy response tends to be meatier. The K47's gently rolled-off top end often feels more “record-ready” than Neumann’s later 67/87 design, while being more forgiving and natural sounding in off-axis situations.

BeesNeez makes one of the finest K47s on the market - a true historic recreation and now you can have it married to the best FET LDC you can own. 

The Vanguard Audio Labs V4 gen2 is a large-diaphragm multi-pattern FET condenser microphone exquisitely designed by our team for over a year. It is designed to be a versatile, reliable, professional recording tool that destroys the usual “bang-for-your-buck” curve. With primo cryogenically-treated componentry, Neutrik® interconnects, and the best shockmount in all the land, the V4 is made to be your go-to workhorse microphone. It's the best FET LDC under $3695!

V4 gen2 /K47 Edition: It's like a FET 47 turned up to 11.
