Brauner VMA Variable Pattern Condenser Microphone

Brauner VMA Variable Pattern Condenser Microphone

The VMA is the essence of more than 10 years of experience with Brauner's top of the line model VM1, that influenced the market like only very few microphones before. The VM1 is fully integrated into the VMA! But the best is yet to come. Truly, the VMA is two microphones in one. A toggle switch is used to select between two different operation modes. The classic VM1 mode (the sound that made Brauner famous) and a stunning vintage sound, created after the best of the best famous old vintage tube microphones. This is of course not dealing with simple filters! The signal path of the VMA is changed through the position of the switch and the tube as well as the capsule get biased in a different way.

Many of the most famous American sound engineers have helped in developing the VMA. Through their severe listening and careful criticism, they actively took part in the development of the VMA. Thanks to the assistance of Grammy Award winning names such as Elliot Scheiner, Al Schmitt, Chuck Ainlay, Malcom Luker and Steve Kempster carefully listening to the VMA prototypes through all its pre production stages, Brauner has reached one of the highest goals in microphone history! The VMA redefines the microphone.
