Brauner Panthera V

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years
mainly on vocals, acoustic guitars and the battery placed about a meter in front of the small bass drum, super top, to the mix.
voice for jazz or rock is great. its beautiful, warm and accurate.
made very good and never disappointed, used on all types of preamps (UA, Chandler, SSL, Manley ...)
and even live in a Apogee Duet sounds of hell!
as otherwise there is nothing to do, very good micro = good sound (in general) if it complies with the basics.
for those who do not have at least 10 DB and omnidirectivité and it can be found at around 1500 euros.
In the same vein there is also the Neumann U87 ...
After that, one or the other is a matter of taste.
