Brauner Microphones VM1S - Manual (Page 7)

Before connecting any cables make sure there are no damages and the power is tur-
ned off. At first connect the microphone and its power supply with the 12 pin Tuchel
cable and tighten the screws. This avoids hum or interference problems.
Once again check if the power supply is set to the right voltage of your environment
and then connect the power cable. At last connect the signal output on the back of
the power supply with your mixing console‘s or microphone preamp‘s input.
You are now all set to power up the microphone. As it is using a tube it will need some
time before you hear a first signal (15s). You should let it warm up about 15 minutes
for the microphone to properly acclimate and evolve its sound.
Before inserting the microphone into the suspension you should have a look at the
two black collar rings on each end of the suspension‘s inner cylinder. These rings can
be turned 360° and the little white dots should align with the black screws on the
cylinder to be in the open position (see picture).
Now insert the microphone into the suspension with the bottom first. To help you
align the microphone there is a black dot right below the grill showing the 0° angle
in the polar diagram.
While holding the microphone with one hand, tighten the black collar rings. Looking
at the front of the suspension, the upper black ring should be turned to the right, the
lower one to the left. You should turn the rings until the microphone is tight and safe
in the desired position, but never overwind them.
If you should have the feeling that the microphone is askew in the suspension, you‘ve
probably turned the rings in the wrong direction.
