Burg Microphones has announced that the M1 tube microphone, their flagship, will be ready for shipping in May 2019. Burg M1 is made in Germany by Andreas Grosser and Eckehard Dux who collaborate with pro audio designer, Andrew Myburgh for this brand unique vintage inspired microphone.
The Burg M1 is not a clone. It is a modern microphone with excellent vintage characteristics. “We set out to design a microphone that we feel would exceed everything on the market today both new and old. Especially in terms of frequency response and noise floor, I am excited to say we have accomplished our goal. We’re very proud of this microphone, on its prototype journey through 2018/19 it has impressed industry peers from North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. All of us at Burg are thrilled it’s finally available to the recording community. It marks what we believe is the beginning of a long and passionate legacy to manufacture the highest quality analog gear for the modern recording professional .” Andrew Myburgh Principal Designer / Director.
The amplifier of the M1 condenser microphone has an extremely linear frequency response. Only the range below 30Hz and over 20Khz is slightly reduced. The linear amplifier, along with the German made capsule and the newly designed capsule basket, is what gives the M1 its amazingly textured sound. Each aspect of the M1 from its technical capabilities to its form and detail has been a labor of love and passion. The M1 has been designed and built to last a lifetime.
The M1 prototype spent 2018 touring the globe and featured at pro audio conventions and studio demos in Germany, Italy and most recently NAMM in the USA. The M1 has been reviewed with acclaim from engineers at LA’s Fox Studios, Seattle’s London Bridge Studios and Eldorado Studios in Burbank. 2019 will see the Burg M1 continue to appear at conventions and studio demonstrations in Europe, Australasia, and North America.
The announced price for the Burg M1 is €5,500.00 ex. VAT. More info you can find on the official site, here: BurgMicrophones.De.
