Brauner Phantom C Cardioid FET Microphone

Phantom C Cardioid FET Microphone description:

The Phantom C (cardioid) was made for people that commonly use cardioid only microphones. The capsule is based on the legendary VM1 capsule. It is a fabulously rich, high-performance microphone with typically high build quality and a larger-than-life sound quality. A phonemenal vocal microphone, also great for acoustic instruments.

The technical specifications of the Phantom are every bit as impressive as you would expect from a company of Brauner's reputation. The microphone's internal amplifier draws a reasonable 4mA of current from the phantom power supply, and produces a self-noise of a very respectable 8dBA. The capsule can tolerate an SPL of 142dB for just 0.5 percent distortion, and provides a healthy output of 28mV/Pa. Frequency response extends between 20Hz and 22kHz, although no limits are given. Since the capsule is the same as that in the Valvet, all the specs are identical between the two models, except that the Phantom's noise performance is 3dB better.
