The VM1 was the fulfillment of Dirk Brauner’s dream to build his vision on the ideal sounding tube microphone. A microphone that captures the spirit from the traditional vintage tube microphones and at the same time, meets the higher technical requirements of today’s contemporary microphones. The VM1 was awarded the SSAIR Award in 1998, marking the beginning of a tradition of excellence in style philosophy, engineering and precision.

In our humble opinion, no other microphone has played a better role in the renaissance in the tube microphone. As the archetype of all Brauner microphones it continues to serve as the inspiration for all Brauner products. The VM1 features a entirely organic, modern sound with the highest resolution of sonic detail. Its transparent open character is predestined for vocal and instrumental recordings and will be the initial choice microphone of top artists and sound engineers around the globe.

        

The power supply on the VM1 allows infinite adjustments of the directional characteristics as well as a 10 dB reduction through a switchable attenuator.
