Cascade V55 Tube Microphone

DISCONTINUED 

Cascade V55 1.38" Vacuum Tube Condenser

Cascade's V55 features a classic tube design... It's an excellent choice for vocals as well as acoustic guitar and drums. The circuit design utilizes a specially selected Mullard 12AT7WA/CV4024 tube.

The Cascade V55 has a 1.38" (35mm) gold-sputtered diaphragm & offers transformer balanced output. The transformer design ensures higher immunity to noise and longer cable drive capability. The Cascade V55 delivers a smooth, fast transient response with extremely low noise and low distortion. Includes vintage style dedicated power supply, high quality spider shockmount, & aluminum flight case.
