TAG:
The Valvet is a dual-pattern tube microphone that is based on the already legendary Brauner VM1, which provides a unique, finely balanced character. Brauner's objective with the Valvet was to create a tube microphone that would be ideally suited to be used as a spot microphone through small construction and the use of a newly developed microphone suspension. 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. In omni though, it becomes the perfect choice for ambience recordings. It has a phase reverse switch for the use with non-standard pre-amplifiers.
