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 “boominess” 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 “pop” are

reduced by the the supplied windscreen.
