Brauner Phantom AE

The Phantom AE, or Anniversary Edition, was a limited production run of the company’s Phantom C microphone, created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Brauner Microphones. Both models are fixed-cardioid, large-diaphragm FET condenser mics. The AE was lower in price but equal to the Phantom C in components, construction quality, and sound. It was initially announced as a run of 1000 mics with black bodies, and later doubled in size to include a second run of 1000 nickel-plated mics. According to Dirk Brauner, the Phantom C, Phantom AE, and currently-shipping (2009) Phantom Classic “have the same circuitry design (besides minor changes which do not have an influence on the sonic character) and have the same capsule.”
