The VM-44 Link is an “active cable” version of the VM-44 where the capsule and the first stage of the amplifier is separated from the main amplifier by a cable. The standard length is 3 meters (ca 10 feet), but it can be customised.
The main amplifier connects directly to an XLR-input with no need for an XLR-cable. The separation of the amplifier means that the capsule end of the VM-44 Link is extremely compact and light, making it excellent for field recordings, stereo setups or as a discreet podium microphone when used in combination with the TS-44 table stand.
There are currently three different (interchangeable) capsules available for the VM-44 Link - cardioid, omni, and supercardioid. Standard configuration comes with cardioid capsule, additional capsules sold separately.
