The Vanguard Audio Labs V1S gen2 Lolli Pencil Microphone Kit puts an unusually deep collection of stereo microphone options into one grab-and-go system.
Built around a matched pair of V1 gen2 FET pencil condenser microphones, the kit includes ten interchangeable capsules spanning small- and large-diaphragm designs with six potential pickup patterns. From acoustic guitars, piano, strings, percussion, and drum overheads to orchestral spot miking, horns, vocals, and location recording, the V1S gen2 Lolli gives engineers a remarkably adaptable stereo microphone pair without filling the locker with a dozen different mics. At the heart of the system are two V1 gen2 microphone bodies featuring transformer-balanced solid-state electronics, premium over-spec components, hand-biased low-noise JFETs, and deep-cycle cryogenic treatment of critical signal and power-path components. Vanguard's streamlined signal-path philosophy is designed to preserve the character captured by the capsule while keeping the electronics quiet, musical, and transparent. Each microphone feeds a custom-wound humbucking dual-bobbin output transformer and operates from standard 48V phantom power. The capsule collection is where the V1S gen2 Lolli really earns its keep. Eight interchangeable 22mm small-diaphragm capsules provide matched pairs of cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional, and wide-cardioid patterns. Their 4µm diaphragms and purpose-designed housings make them equally at home on detailed close-miking duties and natural stereo arrays. A pair of 34mm V34C gen2 Lolli heads expands the system into large-diaphragm territory, with dual-capsule assemblies switchable between cardioid and omnidirectional operation. That combination lets you change not only pickup pattern but also diaphragm format and tonal perspective while keeping the same matched microphone bodies. Vanguard rounds out the kit with two rugged VSSM shockmounts and a stereo microphone bar for quickly configuring X/Y, ORTF, and other stereo techniques. Everything packs into a padded aluminum storage case, making the V1S gen2 Lolli Pencil Microphone Kit an exceptionally versatile choice for professional studios, mobile recording rigs, live-session capture, and engineers who simply want one stereo microphone system ready for almost anything.
