The V57 is an inexpensive large-diaphragm condenser microphone, manufactured in China. It has a fixed cardioid pattern and onboard switches controlling a -10dB pad and a high-pass filter.

Three color combinations are available:

  • Silver V57 body with silver grille, $239
  • Silver V57 body with gold grille, $259
  • Black V57 body with gold grille, $259
