The VIP-60 is built for moments that matter. Nearly four decades after the VIP-50, this is the next evolution. Lower noise, greater precision, and a sound that feels natural from the first take.
It captures detail without harshness, depth without mud, and presence without hype. Vocals sit exactly where they should. Instruments keep their character. What you hear in the room is what you get in the recording.
Five polar patterns, carefully tuned filters, and pre-attenuation pads give you full control in any situation. From intimate vocals to loud sources, the VIP-60 adapts without compromise.
Hand-built in Sweden. Designed to be the centerpiece of your studio.
If you care about how your recordings actually feel, this is where you stop looking.

Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
A highly compact and versatile microphone offering three different polar patterns, low self-noise and excellent SPL handling.
“Very versatile and refined.” – Sound on Sound
“[The DC-196] shines as a vocal mic, capturing a smooth, detailed and full-bodied sound that belies its small stature.” – AudioTechnology
The DC-196 is a versatile power tool built around the latest version of Milab’s rectangular capsule (the 2900). It offers low noise, selectable patterns (cardioid, omni, bidirectional), excellent SPL handling and an extremely smooth off-axis response – all in a very compact format. In fact, the DC-196 is one of the smallest large-diaphragm microphones on the market.
The DC-196 shines on transient-rich sources like acoustic instruments and, thanks to the unique properties of the rectangular capsule, it excels in recording situations where a smooth off-axis response is crucial, such as string ensembles and choirs, but also stereo setups like X/Y and Blumlein where large-diaphragm microphones are usually avoided.
A matched pair of DC-196’s will fulfil the needs of even the most demanding recording engineers.
Package includes:3227 shockmount, 3403 windscreen and an individual frequency graph.

Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
The best-selling Milab model is a true workhorse with a transparent sound that excels on transient rich sources like acoustic guitar, piano or drums.
The hand-made small diaphragm condenser capsule is wonderfully transparent and handles fast transients and high frequency content like few, if any, competitors. It has a beautifully straight frequency curve with a presence peak around 10 KHz which makes the VM-44 ideal for almost any sound source, but especially for acoustical instruments where it absolutely shines.
The VM-44 is just as home in a studio as on stage, and thanks to its small size it’s easy to place exactly where you want it without being in the way. The natural sound and discreet appearance have made the VM-44 range very popular among TV studios around the world.
The -12 dB pad ensures high SPL handling, and if cardioid is not the pickup pattern you need, the front is easily unscrewed in a few seconds and can be replaced by an omni or a supercardioid capsule.
In a 2009 “blind” shootout in Tape Op Magazine, the VM-44 was chosen as one of the “top picks” out of 91 small diaphragm condensers.
The VM-44 is offered in three different versions, the Classic, the Link and the Gooseneck.
Package includes:3221 shockmount, 3406 windscreen and an individual frequency graph.
“These are some of my favorite mics in the world and they blow the doors off of some much more famous short body condensers that shall remain nameless because I don’t want to hurt their little electronic feelings.[…] I have found that throwing the pair up on an acoustic guitar will make a grown man cry. Likewise when we used them as a stereo pair as room mics, their results were equally beautiful.” – Grammy and Billboard Award winning producer Aaron Levinson
