The Brauners have sort of a nasty resonance at 12khz which makes things easily sound harsh - especially with so called clean mic pres. I guess this was the sound which everyone in the mid/end nineties was after. Massive high end from the beginning.
I can remember Bruce Swedien claiming that the VM-1 is "the best mic in the world..."
I´m pretty shure he wouldn´t say this anymore.
It seems the current trend goes more into the classic smooth hig end direction which is not a bad thing.
Neumann M 149 rule indeed. They are much smoother than the brauners + more versatile.
Yes there´s a lot of bullshit goin´on about them here on gs. |
Hi!
Check out the Brauner VMX if you look out for something smoother than the VM1's...
Cheers
