The Milab distributor for North America, FDW-Worldwide, has just launched a dedicated Milab website for our fans in the USA and Canada. Check it out at www.milabusa.com.
Ray Charles used the Milab VIP-50 as a vocal microphone for several studio albums. Reportedly Ray called the current Milab distributor in the US himself and ordered it.
Thanks to our friend Richard Links in California we discovered this clip from the recording of Ray's final studio album Genius Loves Company.
From ca 1:06 to 2:55 in the video you can see Ray and Willie Nelson performing It was a very good year, both using Milab VIP-50:s. Enjoy!
The latest addition to the Milab product family is the DC-96C, a side-addressed large membrane microphone designed mainly for studio work, but also for many live applications. The DC-96C is the latest version of the classic DC-96 series - originally released in 1967 - and has been updated with the latest technology. It shares most of its components, including the capsule, with the DC-196, but like previous DC-96 versions, it is cardioid only and has a single layer mesh grid.
The DC-96C is suitable for a wide range of applications, including studio vocals, acoustic guitar and piano, hi-hats and overheads, guitar amps and more.

* Hand built in Sweden
* Cardioid

The DC-96C will be presented at Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt, March 24-27. Visit Milab in Hall 8.0, booth A47.
Like all Milab models, the DC-96C comes with a lifetime warranty.
About Milab:
The history of Milab Microphones goes all the way back to 1939 when founder Rune Rosander started building microphones. More than 70 years later, all Milab microphones are still built entirely by hand in Sweden. Every microphone is measured independently and shipped with an individual frequency chart. All new Milab microphones come with a lifetime warranty.
March 24 marks the opening of the enormous tradeshows Prolight + Sound and Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Germany. Milab Microphones will exhibit together with the Milab distributor for Germany and Switzerland - FBM Audio.
Most of the Milab product range will be on display, and you may be in for a small surprise - more about that later...
