MILAB VIP60 ( pre bankruptcy) SUPERB microphone!!

FOR SALE

MILAB VIP60

In my opinion the best modern mic in the universe.

NEW IN BOX, ONLY USED FOR TESTING.

This microphone was made before their bankruptcy, so in their original factory / production line.

I just heard they are back In business / made a restart ( thats the reason for the price-drop in this advertisement , I thought they where bankrupt ) that’s great! I don’t know if its the actual same building / factory / production line, and I don’t think the same people who build them earlier are building them now, I do now that one former employee ( Hans Svensson ) is helping / overseeing the restart.
I’m sure they’ll make great microphones though.

Sound Profile:

The VIP-60 delivers a natural, unhyped sound signature that engineers compare to vintage classics like the Neumann KM84 or even a ribbon mic. It's not “airy” or hyped—just clean, dimensional, and musical. In omni and wide-cardioid modes, it opens up with rich depth. In tighter patterns, it offers control, focus, and warmth. It excels on vocals, stringed instruments, guitar amps, upright bass, and more.

This is a modern studio classic—refined, reliable, and designed to be the centerpiece mic in any high-end studio. Backed by decades of Swedish engineering and field-tested by engineers around the world.
