The Shure VP89L is the long-tube model in Shure’s premium modular shotgun family: a 386 mm interference tube giving a 30 degrees acceptance angle, suited to distant sources – sports, ENG, wildlife and field recording. The capsule module unscrews from the shared Class A preamp, so one preamp can serve all three tube lengths – and legacy SM89 capsules fit too.
