The VP83 and VP83F are ultra-lightweight yet durable, with all-metal construction designed to Shure’s legendary quality standards. Both provide superior RF immunity and feature highly directional supercardioid/ lobar polar patterns to reject unwanted off-axis audio. Both microphones also come with an integrated Lyre® shock mount developed exclusively with Rycote® for robust isolation.
The VP83 features easily-accessible controls, including a three-position gain switch to compensate for different recording environments and a low-cut filter switch to eliminate distracting background noise. The VP83 also has an impressive 130 hours of battery life from one AA battery (included).
The VP83F, with built in flash recording and playback functionality, enables WAV file capture at 24 bit/48kHz sampling rate for direct-to-device recording and added audio redundancy. With a dedicated headphone audio output, the VP83F simplifies real-time monitoring and also offers an intuitive menu and controls for fast and easy use in almost any environment.
