To reach this high level of perfection only best components are The VM1S is the stereo version of the VM1. It is currently, without carefully selected, assembled and calibrated to become these won- doubt, the most intricate of all Brauner microphones. It unites two derful works of art and sound.
Tube equipment runs on fairly high voltages that can be lethal in case of direct con- tact. Brauner products comply to all international safety regulations, are tested severe- ly and can therefore be used safely and without any risks if the following regulations are met: 1) Please read this manual carefully.
First attach the suspension to a suitable microphone stand, then loosen the lever on the back of the suspension and position it so that the Brauner logo on the front is facing your way. Now tighten the lever again. You can always adjust the lever‘s arm to another position by simply pulling it upwards and positioning it again without loosening its tension as it is a wingnut.
2.4 Inserting The Microphone Before inserting the microphone into the suspension you should have a look at the two black collar rings on each end of the suspension‘s inner cylinder. These rings can be turned 360° and the little white dots should align with the black screws on the cylinder to be in the open position (see picture).
Main application of the figure of eight pattern are stereo recordings such as the MS or XY technique which require an MS matrix decoder to achieve a proper stereo signal. The stereo version of the VM1, the VM1S, is best suited for this kind of recordings.
3.2 Power Supply Back Panel On the back panel of the power supply there are four connectors: power, microphone (Tuchel connector) and the two signal outs (XLR phase signal on pin 2). Additionally there is a ground lift switch for each XLR out and the voltage setting/fuse holder. 3.3 Ground Lift Switch The ground lift switch detaches the ground pin (pin 1) of the XLR output from ground and can be set to three positions.
4.0 Maintenance and Care We take great care and attention when we manufacture our microphones. We only use the highest quality components available, many of which are exclusively manu- factured according to our specifications and individual needs. All components must pass our severe QC and selection processes without which the production of such a delicate microphone would not be possible.
