1 1.1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing this original Brauner microphone and congratulations on your wise and advised decision. Through your support of highest quality products you ensure to keep up the good work and help to keep an important part of the world famous German engineering art and culture alive and so, the spirit of non compromising quality, attention to detail, precision and endurance.
2 2.0 Safety regulations Tube equipment in comparison to transistor equipment is running on fairly high voltages, which in case of direct contact with the human body, can be lethal. Brauner products comply to all international safety regulations and are severely tested and therefore can be run safely and without any risk, as long as they are properly used and the safety regulations are met. So please take some time to read them carefully: 1.
2.2 The aluminum case Brauner microphones get delivered in a sturdy aluminum case, containing the microphone and all its accessory parts in a foam wadding that was made to effectively protect them. When not used for a longer period of time or during travel or transport, you should keep the microphone in its case for optimum protection. You should also keep the microphone cables in this case. The cables are located behind the snap lid that you will find as part of the top lid of the case.
2.4 Inserting the microphone into its suspension The suspension is tighten correctly to the stativ. Now you take the microphone and push it with both hands carefully but with a certain higher pressure into the inner halfring of the suspension. As you see it on the picture it is a good way to hold and fix the microphone with yout thumbs while the forefingers provide the right counterpressure. The microphone is now securely fixed into the suspension. In some cases e.g.
3.0 The remote The microphones power supply/remote unit is build into a modular housing .The PSU/remote should be placed near the console to take advantage of changing parameters during the rehearsal session in order to make changes to the pattern or to activate the phase reverse in case it is needed, without having to go into the recording room again to access the microphone, which enables a better work flow in the studio and lets you hear changes more quickly.
3.2 The pattern switch You can choose between two different pattern. The OMNI and the CARDIOID pattern. Following now is a short description of the different pattern and their behaviour, for people that have no further experience in using microphones yet. If you are a professional user, you might proceed to the next paragraph now. Please notice that the information on this subject given here can only be an introduction. You should refer to dedicated literature for further and more detailed information.
3.3 The phase reverse switch The phase reverse switch is located on the front panel of the remote and can be used to invert the phase of the audio signal ( 180° ). When the switch is in the lower position (0°) the non-inverted signal of the transformer outputs at Pin 2 of the XLR connector (standard compliant; Pin2 “hot“).
3.4 The back panel of the remote On the back panel of the remote (see picture for details) you find the “MAINS“ input with the fuse holder and the XLR output “OUT“ with pin 2 carrying the in-phase signal (Pin 2 “hot“). Connect this output to your console or microphone preamp using a high quality cable. (Check our websie for recommendations; ) On the right side of the XLR output you find the 8 pin Tuchel® connector for the connection to the microphone.
