Emerging has been appointed exclusive UK and Ireland distributor for microphone manufacturer Vanguard Audio Labs in line with the launch of the V13 Tube Condenser Microphone.
‘We were keen to work with Emerging because we knew that the company’s professionalism, experience, reputation and local market knowledge would be a good match for Vanguard Audio’s dedication to uncompromising quality in the pro audio market,’ says Vanguard Audio CEO, Derek Bargaehr.
The Vanguard V13 large-diaphragm multi-pattern valve condenser microphone is the first model to be launched by the US company. Crafted over the course of two years, it aims to combine ‘vintage warmth’ with ‘smooth modern detail’. Designed with the character of a vintage tube microphone while using modern technologies, the V13 has claims ‘warm, full lows, a precise and detailed midrange, and a smooth high end’.
‘The Vanguard Audio V13 complements our brand values perfectly as it offers great sound for an affordable price from a really innovative manufacture,’ says Emerging MD, Paul Mortimer. ‘We are very pleased to be offered the chance to develop the Vanguard Audio business in the UK.’
The V13 Tube mic is now shipping with an MSRP price of £950 (inc VAT), and will be available to demo through appointed dealers.
