Usually ships in 1-2 business days | | | | | | The VP64A and VP64AL are high-output omnidirectional handheld dynamic microphones designed for professional audio and video production. They combine exceptional performance and comfortable feel with a handsome on-camera appearance. The VP64A and VP64AL are identical except for handle length. The 200 mm (7-7/8 inch) long VP64A is ideal for close-up use and can be used outside as well as indoors. The VP64AL is well-suited to location interviews, sports broadcasting, and other situations where the 244 mm (9-5/8 inch) length is an advantage. The omnidirectional pickup pattern provides uniform pickup on or off axis, eliminating the need for critical microphone positioning. The VP64A series also features a tailored frequency response with an upper midrange presence rise that adds crispness and clarity to speech. The cartridge utilizes a neodymium magnet for higher output and increased signal-to-noise ratio. An internal rubber isolation mount protects the microphone cartridge and minimizes handling noise. A water-resistant mesh grille allows the microphone to be used during the most challenging weather conditions. The supplied windscreen further reduces "pop" and wind noise. | | | |

As Seen On MTV and VH1 Dec 13, 2008 This is a decent mic for a decent price. We use these on MTV and VH1 productions a lot. In fact, I had to add a couple to my sound kit just for that purpose because that's what they started requesting.
Pros:
There's a bump in the upper mids that help speech cut through all the background noise that usually is taking place on MTV/VH1 shoots.
The mics are light weight so when you put the wireless plugon onto the mic, it's as light as it could be.
It's an omni directional mic so the "talent" doesn't have to have it exactly in front of their face.
It's not very expensive if you shop for the right deal.
Cons:
It's an omni directional mic so it's going to pick up sound from all directions.
The tube of the mic is not double walled like the RE50 is, so despite what the description is telling you, it does indeed pick up hand noise. You'll have to train your talent to have a light touch when using the mic.
It's made from light weight aluminum so unlike other mics that are extremely heavy duty in the field, this one can get dented or bent. So go easy with it and it will last you.
Overall, the Shure VP64 is a very good sounding on camera host and interview mic that for the price, you can't go wrong having a couple in your sound kit!

vp 64 al Oct 23, 2005
yes, got mine From amazon.com for testing...
it passes.
actual freq response on this thing
is about 50 to 14 k or so... in
3 db band..
even this mic, as with most XLR type mics
you need to get something like the A85 F
with appropriate cable ( xlr Male to xlr Female
needed ) to boost output to useable levels.
it is CLEAR.
intended really for vocals.. ( interview mic , they say)
but
even ifyou shout into it, doesnt seem to break up.
so
can be used for vocals or backup vocals also.
its OMNIdirectional.. well.. a good part of it anyway.
about 300-600 ohms type..
if you can get it for about usd 60 or so.. landed
into your home, TAKE it.
oh as with most all mics,,,
Proximity effect on this thing is severe.
even ifyou use it without a85f,
do keep at least 8-10 inches AWAY from mic.
if you use a 85f, then one can use it
at 12-18 inches away even..
its more clear that way, less booming
and other stuff.
for home studio.. can be used to record vocals too.
will re test on other
instruments to check useability
and report back, one fine day.
in meantime, enjoying this very decent
mic.
take care and go for it.
