The Phanthera is the impressive proof that a phantom powered non-tube microphone can sound amazingly close to a real tube microphone. With the Phanthera, Brauner expanded its product portfolio to include a reference quality microphone which could stand beside the sound characteristics of the coveted tube models VMA and VMX. The results speak for themselves.

 

Experience vocal recordings with an intensity and liveliness never heard before. The particular sound of a sonic event is highlighted in a subtle manner. Totally unobtrusively, almost imperceptibly, it creates finely elaborate and highly nuanced sonic details. Narration recordings also have clear gains in proximity and plasticity. So you instantly have a result with convincing quality without time-consuming postproduction. Instrumental recordings with the Phanthera stand out due to the enormous detail resolution and first-class transient response.

 

The Phanthera clearly represents a further milestone in the art of microphones.
