Inspirational. That's what it is to watch people dedicated to quality and longevity of a product, instead of cost or market share. I read a short article on the last page of Mix this month (August 2017) on the value of quality, and it could easily have been describing Mr. Brauner's standards here. There is a place for "just as good as" equipment, and there is a place for top notch gear. Hat's off to those who make the gear we aspire to own and create with, who believe that last 10% is worth chasing.

Absolutely! 100% agree with you. Thank you so much!

Excelente y muy instructivo video de como debemos respetar la música!

Extrem sympathischer, bodenständiger Mann.

Craftsmanship...pure craftswomanship at it's finest (they have highly skilled Ladies working to create these timeless masterpieces as well). It makes you appreciate it more when you finally write that check, sign it and order one of these gems you can pass on to your heirs in your estate! Wow!!

Agree! Thanks a lot!

Respect for this guy....!!.... Good Luck Mr Brauner...

Dirk Brauner is one of the finest people I have ever met. He genuinely loves microphones and I believe no one makes microphones any better than his. I have several Brauner mics and love them. Solid state or vacuum tube, Brauner mics are first rate.

I recently contacted him via email. Waiting for a response. Hes a pure genius!!!

Un aporte increíble. Micros de calidad, para resultados de calidad...

Even I love microphones. Very excellent work

I've bought some years ago a Brauner Phantom AE (anniversary edition) which is solid state and am very happy with it. The build quality is great. And I had the chance of recording an album for my friend in a studio where they had Brauner VM1, or was it VMX. I forgot. That thing sounded amazing! Great work mr. Dirk!

Really wonderful video. Thank you. And thank you, Mr. Brauner, for your authenticity and for everything you are doing.

increible!

¡Muchas gracias por el aporte! ¡Ojalá hubiera muchos videos así!

Well..........I don't know if I will ever be able to buy a Brauner mic but....Listening to this man has been very inspirational and has helped me persevere in my own quest for better recordings. Thanks!

THAT was great documentary. i will definitely get equipment like this if life ever gives me that opportunity...

Excelente video, un gran reportaje que merece la pena verlo, recomendado.

I love people like you who love their work!

Thank you, guys!

Wow so cool I love this stuff, and I just learned so much... thank you

I am impressed if Peter Gabriel gave any sort of blessing, but this is some wonderful world class manufacturing of it's own.

cada cierto tiempo vuelvo a ver este documental... es genial!!

Muchas gracias por tu comentario, Abraham! La pasión que Dirk poner en su trabajo tiene como resultado unos micrófonos increíbles.

This is one of the best lecture/QnA about the myths of tube mics etc. my friend has this chinese ‘tube mic’ that he expects me to like (its crap). This guy rules tho

Fantastic overview of your design philosophy and your facility and processes. One thing, we didn't get to HEAR the microphone, although possibly the Brazilian music was mic'ed with your microphone. A few more examples would be wonderful.

Great Microphones made Expertly from people with passion for excellence

Thank you for this Brauner product video! I will definitely have a look at the Brauner product range, contact my local dealer in Belgium and hopefully welcome a new Brauner tube microphone among my collection. Thanks again. Dirk

After watching this documentary I decided to pull the trigger on a used VM1. I have not received it yet but I am looking forward to seeing and using it. Apparently it was serviced and sat in its box after having new capsule so I’m hoping it’s going to give me years of use. Loved the detail that goes into manufacturing these microphones and I feel confident on my used purchase as I trust what I’ve seen in this video. Great watch and very educational. Thanks

Just an update on me buying a used VM1 Microphone, Best thing I ever did hands down💪

Does anyone know which microphone preamp is used to test the microphones at the last stage of manufacturing from Dirk?

So musica brasileira no video kkkkk

I recently bought a new VM1 that became faulty in transit. I have to say the level of service I received from my U.K. supplier (Red Dog) and especially Brauner, was exceptional. Dirk dealt with the issue personally, and was in contact with me throughout - exceptionally professional. The mic I've ended up with is superb, like a super high quality camera lens. If you have a good EQ you can manipulate this sound to be exactly what you want it to be, there are never nasty surprises of gritty artefacts when you lift a frequency band. I've also worked with the VMX - that's a fire-breathing mic! I did an experiment to see if I could EQ the VMX to impersonate my old U67 - bingo, all the necessary information and warmth was there, cut some highs, little 1k push and you could hardly tell them apart! Then had to reverse it all as the VMX with no EQ sounds a lot better than the 67 with no EQ straight off!

Thank you, Darren!

one day i will earn one.

Great mics but only useful in good rooms with good acoustic. If the room is boomy or has a hall reverb then you will get a shock ! These mics do not forgive ! They take everything !

Fuck,My microphone is only one electret

This might just be my ignorant opinion but, Talking about hearing a difference yeah, It would be a good difference, But is it four to five thousand dollars worth of difference?, It's the same as Neumann

Well, many people have fluency in other (non-native) languages, but little to say... so, thank you so much Dirk!

The narrator should be recorded with a tube mic not that stupid stage mic.
