The Shure VP82 uses a Class-A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for a clean, fast response with low distortion. Its supercardioid and lobar pickup pattern provides strong directionality, while the low 15 dB A-weighted noise level helps keep recordings clean. It uses an XLR 3-pin output and runs on 11 to 52 V phantom power, making it compatible with professional cameras and field recorders.
