Brauner Microphones VM1S - Manual (Page 10)

We take great care and attention when we manufacture our microphones. We only
use the highest quality components available, many of which are exclusively manu-
factured according to our specifications and individual needs. All components must
pass our severe QC and selection processes without which the production of such a
delicate microphone would not be possible.
The material used for the diaphragm of our capsules is especially made for us and
withstands a wide moisture and temperature range and will show no aging effects
even after many years of operation.
Nevertheless you should regard some simple rules to maintain the longevity of your
microphone we have laid the foundations for:
1) Always store the microphone in its case when it‘s not being used for a longer peri-
od of time. Place the provided desiccant close to the microphone, especially in places
with high humidity.
2) Don‘t use the microphone under extreme environmental conditions. Try to avoid
dust and humidity.
3) Do not smoke when using the microphone. Cigarette smoke contains acids that
can harm the microphone‘s diaphragm and build up high resistance shortcuts which
can lead to a loss in signal quality and increased noise. Smoking is bad for you and
your microphone.
4) The suspension‘s black collar rings might leave black marks on the microphone
in the beginning. Use a damp cloth to remove them and treat the nickel surface of
the microphone with a mild acid free oil that you can put on very carefully using a
soft cloth and distribute thinly over the whole surface so there is no smear or finger-
prints.
Never use any aggressive detergents to clean the surface of your microphone or its
accessories. Never let any liquids get inside of your microphone or power supply.
5) The supplied VOVOX-TubeLink cable is custom made and of very high quality. Do
not bend or knot it in a sharp angle. Do not drop the Tuchel connectors to the ground.
Always wind the cable in big slopes and free of twists to avoid damages to the shiel-
ding or wire leads. The overall quality of your audio chain can only be as good as its
weakest part which often is the cable.
6) Avoid dropping the microphone or any influence of force to it or its accessories. If it
is dropped or hit, power it off immediately and check for damages or loose parts and
contact our service team.
7) Always secure the microphone with one hand when inserting it into the suspen-
sion.
