DETAILED DESCRIPTION (click to expand)

The VM12 was Aiwa's most affordable professional 600 Ohm ribbon microphone. In stock condition they have a very low output with limited frequency response, but this one has been cleaned, re-ribboned and has been updated with new stronger magnets, giving this mic more output and extended low end. We've invested far more into this (and our other VM12) than we are asking for it. Our loss, your gain!

The mic is in wonderful cosmetic condition and comes with it's original matching Aiwa Desk stand and VM12 microphone case/box.

We are selling a second VM12 with the same upgrades and modifications, they would make a wonderful pair.

The recording below was made entirely using only a pair of these microphones. There is no processing on any of the tracks.

We also have the original multitrack stems if you'd like to hear the mic on individual sources. Please reach out for access.
