Brauner's Valvet Voice Limited Edition Microphone
 November 30, 2001Building on the success of the Valvet and the VM1, renowned German microphone craftsman Dirk Brauner introduces the Valvet Voice Limited Edition tube vocal microphone. The new offering delivers the transparency and detail that are the hallmarks of Brauner's designs with a response curve that is acoustically adjusted for critical vocal applications. The result is a microphone of unprecedented intimacy and warmth, available at a price that belies its handcrafted excellence.
The Valvet Voice Limited Edition possesses a cardioid polar response with selectable phase invert, hard ground, soft ground, or ground lift. Technicians hand-assemble each microphone from Class A amplifiers, custom built Lundahl transformers, and JAN tubes, and Dirk Brauner himself hand-tunes each production unit. Brauner's combination of exceptional design and careful manufacturing give the Valvet Voice (R) Limited Edition an incredible sound that transcends even its matchless specifications.
"Studio insiders already know that nothing else sounds like a Brauner," noted Brad Lunde, president of Transamerica Audio Group, Brauner's US distributor. "Dirk combines the very best design virtues of the past with the improved materials of today to produce his microphones - a simultaneously sensible but rare combination of approaches in today's market. The Valvet Voice delivers Brauner's classic sound for critical vocal applications."
Brauner will limit the number of Valvet Voice microphones to 500 worldwide. For more information, visit their distributor's web site at www.transaudiogroup.com. |
