The Shure Model VP88 is a single-point, stereo condenser microphone for use in professional studio recording, field production, electronic news gathering (ENG), and studio broadcasting applications. It combines two condenser cartridges in a single housing to create a stereo audio image of the sound source. It is unique in its ability to capture the realism of a live event and yet withstand rigorous field production environments.

The VP88 uses a mid-side (M-S) configuration. One microphone cartridge (Mid) faces forward to capture on-axis sound using a cardioid pickup pattern. The other microphone cartridge (Side) is bi-directional, capturing sound from either side. The VP88 contains an internal M-S matrix with three settings for different degrees of stereo image seperation. The internal matrix can be bypassed if an external matrix is used or if stereo imaging is done in post-production. Switches on the top of the microphone control output mode, stereo imaging, low-frequency rolloff settings, and battery on/off.

The VP88 can operate on phantom power or an internal 6V battery. The VP88 is supplied with a multi-connector "Y-splitter" cable, foam windscreen, swivel stand adapter, 6-volt battery, and zippered carrying/storage bag. Optional accessories include an isolation mount, a 7.6 m (25 ft) microphone extension cable, a phantom power supply, and a 4.3 m (14 ft) microphone stand.

• Time-coherent, Mid-Side (M-S) design for optimal stereo imaging
• Built-in stereo matrix for direct control of the stereo spread; direct M-S outputs available
• Mono compatibility ideal for broadcast applications
• 40 to 20,000 Hz frequency response
• Low noise and distortion
• Wide dynamic range
• Switch-selectable, low-frequency rolloff (12 dB/octave below 80 Hz) for reduced pickup of ambient noise and stand vibration
• Operates on phantom power or a 6V camera battery
• LED power indicator
• Internal shock mount for reduced stand vibration and handling noise
• Built-in "pop" screen
• Includes windscreen, swivel adapter, and Y-cable

The ME 62 is an omni-directional microphone head suitable for K6 and K6P
powering modules. It can be used for reporting, discussions and interviews.
The ME 62 is particularly suitable for good reproduction of 'room' ambience
and 'spaced omni' stereo recording. Matt black, anodised, scratch-resistant finish.

The super-cardioid e 614 is a permantly polarized condenser microphone
designed for demanding applications which require a wide frequency response,
high SPL, fast transient response and a compact design.  With its frequency
response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, the e 614 is able to capture the full sound of the
instrument, while its super-cardioid pick-up pattern isolates the microphone
from other on-stage signals. 
An excellent microphone for percussion instruments, the e 614 is also an ideal
choice for woodwind and string instruments.  Its excellent acoustic properties
also make it a valuable tool for home recording.

Features
Rugged design Effective rejection of incidental rear noise Excellent directivity
across the whole frequency range Full, natural sound High maximum sound
