Milab announces the VIP-60
« on: December 08, 2021, 08:06:24 AM »
Hey guys! Today is a big day. The VIP-60 is the most significant product release for Milab in at least 15 years. I hope it's okay that I post some information here.

/Mattias

------

Introducing the Milab VIP-60!

37 years after the introduction of its predecessor, the VIP-60 has been upgraded with a new rectangular capsule and optimized circuitry to bring the sound of the classic VIP-50 into the 21st century.

The VIP-60 is the result of a multi-year R&D project where the goal was to reinvigorate what is arguably the most iconic Milab model ever produced, the VIP-50. The process included an 18-month testing period with feedback from a number of highly skilled sound engineers in Europe and the US. The result is a microphone which is technically superior to its predecessor – the most notable difference being the significant reduction in self-noise - but users of the VIP-50 will still recognize the characteristic Milab sound with its ribbon-like warmth and sparkly highs.

The VIP-60 offers five different polar patterns and a selection of roll-off filters and pads. The microphone is delivered in a waterproof SKB 3i case together with a Rycote USM shockmount and an individual frequency chart. First deliveries are expected in January 2022.

Something that may be of particular interest here that's mentioned on the web site but not in the OP is that matched pairs are available.
