    Great Ribbon
    Brenton

    Great sounding ribbon. I've used it on acoustic guitars and a mono drum room, and it sounds amazing on both.

    Fabulous!
    Steven Hickman

    I purchased a pair of these direct from Samar before they were available from dealers. Not only are these the finest ribbon microphones I've ever used, the VL37 is one of the best microphones of any type I've ever heard. Very special mic. If you're looking for a fabulous microphone that can record virtually anything with excellence, you owe it to yourself to try a VL37 out in your studio. Amazing price for quality like this. The only thing better is a matched pair of VL37's.

What We Think

The Samar VL37 Ribbon Microphone is a truly impressive microphone, exhibiting a refined and quite balanced tonality which is readily evident to the the ear. Truly a head turner both sonically and visually - thanks to its signature honeycomb screen - the Samar VL37 Ribbon Microphone is sure to class up your recordings in short order. And though its sound is fine regardless of preamp, we at Front End Audio found that we especially liked this mic when used with the Crimson Audio Mogaine Ribbon Microphone Pre-Preamp. So, if you're in the market for a ribbon mic, be sure to check out the Samar VL37 Ribbon Microphone.
