GENERAL

The Shure Model VP64 is a high output omnidirectional handheld dynamic microphone designed for professional audio and video production. It combines exceptional perfor- mance and comfortable feel with a handsome on-camera appearance.

The VP64 is ideal for closeup use and can be used out- side as well as indoors. Its omnidirectional pickup pattern provides uniform pickup on or off axis, eliminating the need for critical microphone positioning. The VP64 also features a tailored frequency response with an upper midrange pres- ence rise that adds crispness and clarity to speech. A low frequency rolloff minimizes ªboominessº and background noise. The circuitry includes a neodymium magnet for higher output and increased signal-to-noise ratio.

The cartridge is shock mounted for ruggedness and to minimize handling noise pickup. Wind noise and ªpopº are reduced by the the supplied windscreen.
