Know before you buy
The Vinnie pair utilizes a matched set of ribbon microphones with a bidirectional polar pattern, which is ideal for techniques like Blumlein or Mid-Side recording. This configuration captures a natural, immersive soundstage that accurately reflects the depth and spatial characteristics of your performance space.
The 2 7/16-inch long ribbon element is designed to provide a smooth, natural high-frequency response. This length helps achieve a warm, intimate character that avoids the harshness sometimes found in condenser microphones, making it excellent for capturing delicate sources.
No, the Vinnie microphones are engineered to deliver an open, articulate sound right out of the box. They are tuned to perform optimally without the need for internal adjustments or aftermarket modifications.
These microphones excel in environments where you need to capture nuance and detail, such as acoustic instruments, string sections, or drum overheads. Their warm, articulate nature makes them a go-to choice for sources that benefit from a natural, non-fatiguing transient response.
Because they feature a figure-eight polar pattern, these microphones pick up sound equally from the front and back while rejecting sound from the sides. You should be mindful of your room's acoustics, as the rear pickup will capture reflections from behind the microphone.
