Line 6 Partners with Earthworks to Release the V75-40V Premium Wireless Microphone

Line 6 and Earthworks introduce the V75-40V wireless microphone,shown here with its carrying case.

Line 6, Inc. introduces the V75-40V, a new wireless microphone that combines Line 6 digital wireless technology with the Earthworks WL40V premium hyper-cardioid capsule. Designed for use with Line 6 XD-V75 systems, V75-40V delivers performance and sound quality, representing a new standard in digital wireless performance.

"We're pleased to partner with Earthworks, an industry leader in high-definition microphones," said Max Gutnik, vice president of products, Line 6. "Together we've created a digital wireless microphone that delivers performance previously found only in the highest quality wired studio microphones."

"Line 6's expertise and experience in digital wireless coupled with Earthworks' precision microphone technology -- stemming from our measurement background -- lends itself to a superior product for the live sound and worship markets," said Heidi Robichaud, president/CEO, Earthworks.

Designed to deliver studio-quality performance to the wireless world, the hand-tuned and tested capsule from Earthworks features lightning-fast impulse response, high SPL handling, and a wide frequency range. The company says a hyper-cardioid polar pattern conveys exceptional detail and nuance. The result is vocals that require little to no EQ.

"Our engineering team worked tirelessly to make a product that sounds as scientifically perfect as is possible," said Daniel Blackmer, director of engineering, Earthworks.

The Line 6 XD-V system is the only wireless platform that can transmit the frequency range of the hand-tuned and tested WL40V capsule from Earthworks. Featuring 24-bit precision for a full frequency response, exceptional dynamic range, and no compression or expansion, the company says the signal from Line 6 digital wireless systems is so clear and strong that it sounds and performs like a wired microphone.

V75-40V has a rugged metal body designed to withstand the rigors of live performance, and a custom hard-shell touring case with soft inner padding protects the V75-40V between gigs.

V75-40V is expected to be available in October 2013.
