Vanguard Audio Labs V13 Tube Test in Funki Factori Audio Production Studio (Tallinn, Estonia, EU)
Testing different tubes for V13 tube microphone with Liisa Tetsmann. No EQ is added. The signal flow: Vanguard Audio Labs V13 (with different tubes) - UPM1 Germanium preamp - Neve 2254 compressor - ReVox MR8 console - Lynx Aurora converters - Logic Pro X. The tubes that were tested: Electro-Harmonix 6072, NOS Brimar 6060, NOS Valvo E180cc and NOS Telefunken ECC83. The compressor settings were a bit different hence the small difference in sound levels. Recorded and mixed by Margus Alviste (Funki Factori Audio Production). Video made by Margus Alviste. Big thanks to Mikko Palomäki and Jürgen Urbanik from Retrosonic Pro Audio https://www.facebook.com/retrosonicproaudio/ and Koit Saarmäe from Matrix Studio http://www.matrix.ee! The UPM1 germanium 51x preamp is made by Mr Andre Solomko (Helsinki, Finland) and is based on the historic model. It sounds amazing giving an extraordinary warm clear 3D sound.
