sE Electronics VR2 Mic Test / Review
Podcast with VR2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aABeaMlO0M
Today I review the sE Electronics VR2 which is an active ribbon mic with a healthy sensitivity and a nice extension into the treble and air frequencies. I think this is a great option for adding to a mic locker if you want a ribbon mic in your mic locker.
