Brauner:
The VM1 has a completely natural, modern sound with the highest resolution of sonic detail. Its transparent open character is tailored for vocal and instrumental recordings. The Valvet produces excellent recordings even under difficult acoustic conditions due to its directional characteristics, leaning slightly towards hyper-cardioid while maintaining a high level of back rejection. The VMA unites two basic sound characters in one. Through simple switching, you can select between the very natural transparent sound of the VM1 or the full character sound of the VMX. The VMX offers the full character sound of the VMA in a single microphone and yields highest detailed resolution with a silky top end.Website: BraunerTube Microphones
