VR88 Applications
The VR88 is an excellent choice for miking a variety of sound sources including 
vocals, piano, reed and brass instruments, electric and acoustic guitars and choirs 
and orchestras to name just a few.
Vocals 
When using the VR88 on vocals, use of an external pop filter is strongly recom-
mended. Position the microphone in front of the artist so that the microphone grill 
is approximating 4 to 10 inches away. You can record a group of vocalist by posi-
tioning them around the front and rear of the microphone. Just remember that the 
extreme sides of the microphone picks up nothing due to the VR88’s bidirectional 
pick up pattern. Since the VR88’s frequency response remains flat off axis, you 
don’t have to be concerned about the microphone sounding different from center 
to sides.
Reed Instruments 
When recording saxophone or clarinet, place the VR88 one to two feet from the 
instrument. When placing the microphone closer to the source, you will cap-
ture more of the direct sound and less of the reflected sound. Be aware of the 
reflected sound when positioning the artist and microphone near the studio walls. 
Often you can use the wall to capture some natural echo. Ever notice that saxo-
phonists like to warm up in some 
corner somewhere? They’re telling 
you something. You can change the 
delay time by adjusting the distance 
between the microphone, performer 
and the wall. Experiment around and 
you can get some amazing record-
ings.
Brass 
Recording brass instruments is han-
dled very nicely by the VR88. The 
VR88 should be positioned approxi-
mately two feet away when recording 
brass instruments. (Figure 1) If you 
are recording a group of brass and 
reed instruments increase the dis-
tance of the microphone. (Figure 2)
