Cardioid tube microphone
VMX Pure Cardioid
The VMX offers a charming, full character sound.
With the introduction of our "pure cardioid" series, we distill the essence of our successful tube microphones VM1 and VMX into two new models with a cardioid pattern only. Keeping the well-known high-class look & feel, these two new microphones show their exceptional qualities in solo recordings and achieve an even better self noise due to their fixed pattern. Their attractive price appeals to home studio enthusiasts all the way to the most demanding audio purists who do not require the variable patterns offered in the classic VM1 or VMX, and simultaneously make no compromises in sound quality.
The new "pure cardioid" models open up the world of Brauner tube microphones with their outstanding tonal character to an even bigger community of users.
From a technical point of view, Brauner Microphones go to the full extent of what is physically possible. With an equivalent noise of 9 dBA the VM1 and the VMX "pure cardioid" rank among the best tube microphones available on the market today. Needless to say we do not use any filters to achieve these excellent technical specifications, as filters would while reducing the noise also have an adverse effect on the sound quality. Additionally, our microphones have a very high sensitivity allowing you to perfectly adjust your pre-amps. Thus annoying noise is eliminated. What's left is a pure sonic experience!
To reach this high level of perfection only the best components are selected, assembled and calibrated by hand to become an uncompromising blend of art and sonic excellence. This is a time-consuming and costly process that ensures the quality of our microphones, which an industrial mass production could never accomplish. As our goal is to offer the best microphones money can buy, we will not make any compromises for the sake of our products' quality. Thus a Brauner microphone is a lifetime investment and also a professional and reliable tool for your daily work.
The "pure cardioid" series comes in a sturdy aluminum case which holds the microphone, its elastic suspension, VOVOX TubeLink cable and power supply.
