Shure VP88 Cardioid/Bidirectional Condenser Stereo Microphone

The Shure VP88 Microphone is a professional-grade solution tailored for studio recording, field production, electronic news gathering (ENG), and studio broadcasting. This single-point, stereo condenser microphone is designed to deliver superior audio fidelity by combining two condenser cartridges within a single housing. With its stellar capability to capture the authenticity of live events, the Shure VP88 stands out in both studio and rigorous field conditions.

At the heart of the VP88 is its unique Mid-Side (M-S) design. One cartridge, the Mid, utilizes a cardioid pickup pattern to capture on-axis sound, while the Side cartridge is bi-directional, capturing sounds from either side. This configuration ensures comprehensive stereo imaging of the audio source. An internal M-S matrix provides three distinct settings, allowing for varying degrees of stereo separation. Moreover, the internal matrix can be bypassed for those who prefer using external matrix configurations or post-production stereo imaging.

The VP88 is designed for versatility and ease of use, whether it’s for broadcast, live events, or studio sessions. It includes essential accessories like a windscreen, swivel adapter, and a Y-splitter cable, making it an ideal choice for professionals who demand reliability and high-quality sound in diverse environments.
