The new Brauner VMA combines the performance of two high-grade tube
microphones in a single package, offering users a choice between the original and a "vintage" sound with the
flick of a switch.
The VMA is derived from eight years of experience with the VM1, the
microphone that helped make Brauner well-known. This new microphone
combines the core design of the VM1 with additional input from Brauner
customers worldwide, especially from the U.S.
A
toggle switch on the power supply allows users to set the mic to two
different operational modes. One represents the VM1 sound,
which is a multi-purpose sound for almost any recording task. The
second sets the microphone to operate with a sweet and mellow tube sound
reminiscent of vintage mics.
Unique circuitry and biasing - not filter networks - help the VMA
achieve each of its sounds. Switching from one position to the
other introduces parameter changes, re-biasing the microphone and
introducing different sets of components, crucial in achieving the two
distinct sounds, into the circuit.
MSRP: $7,000.00
