Introduction - Samson Audio VR88 Manual Del Usuario

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the VR88 velocity ribbon microphone
from Samson Audio! The VR88 features a fine, pure aluminum corrugated
foil ribbon suspended within an intense neodymium field producing a warm
and natural response that's silky smooth from bottom to top. The VR88
combines the sweetness of traditional classic ribbon technology with the
precision and versatility of advanced condenser microphone head-amplifier
electronics. Like a modern condenser microphone, the VR88 operates on
standard 48-volt phantom power. This provides the VR88 with a high output
that's compatible with any mic pre amplifier. Unlike old ribbon microphones,
you don't have to worry about impedance mis-matches and the VR88 has no
problems with long cable runs. The VR88 is capable of handling high sound
pressure levels (135 dB), making it an excellent choice for miking vocals, as
well as acoustic instruments and even percussion or loud guitar amplifier
stacks.
In these pages, you'll find a detailed description of the features of the
VR88 Studio Condenser Microphone, as well as step-by-step instructions
for its setup and use, and full specifications. You'll also find a warranty
card enclosed—please don't forget to fill it out and mail it in so that you
