Full Interview With Derek Bargaehr of Vanguard Microphones and AKG C24 VS Vanguard V24 Shootout

SUPER-NERD EXTENDED CUT EDITION (shorter version available on this channel) - I sat down with microphone designer guru and CEO ("Chief Everything Officer") for Vanguard Audio Labs, Derek Bargaehr and his new stereo V24 tube mic! When I say this video is made for super-DUPER microphone nerds, I mean it. We go deep yall! If you are fascinated by the subtle variances of microfarads in hand-machined mic capsules and debating the micron thicknesses of diaphragm mylar types, this video is for you. If you'd rather skip the chatter and go straight to the C24 VS V24 listening tests, by all means use the timestamps below.

Make sure to watch in 4K and listen on reference monitors or good headphones for best results. Enjoy ~ JML
