Engineer and Producer Michael Brauer has completely transitioned to mixing on the Barefoot Sound MicroMain 27 Monitors that he purchased from Vintage King Audio earlier this year. A leading dealer of high-end new and vintage recording equipment, Vintage King is the exclusive dealer of Barefoot Sound equipment in the United States. The monitors are available abroad from a select list of dealers through Vintage King’s sister
company, M1 Distribution.

Brauer, an established A-list mixing engineer known for his eclectic, highly acclaimed
discography, has worked with The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, My Morning Jacket, Ben Folds and John Mayer to name an incredibly select few. Currently, Brauer is back in the studio mixing a batch of songs from John Mayer, using the Barefoot MM27’s on the session.

“Unlike many other pieces of gear, monitors are a very personal choice,” says Michael Brauer. “I’ve been mixing on one set of midfields for the past 20 years. During that time I’ve A/B’d them against most of the popular contenders, but none showed the potential to improve my mixes until Mike Nehra at Vintage King asked me to try a set of Barefoot MM27’s. As a large midfield monitor they offered me an accurate response from a big bottom, warm, punchy midrange to a wide clear top end, at both low and high playback levels, something that my present midfields didn’t do well.”

Crafted by Steve Firlotte, the VC500’s design incorporates the SPA690 op-amp as found in the Inward Connections’ Tree 500 console and 690 summing bus with military spec construction.

Incredibly versatile, the discrete VCA 500 series compressor is refined enough for mastering or mix buss use, yet packs enough punch to replace a dbx 160VU on bass or snare, bring out harmonics and air on an acoustic guitar or pump room mics for a “Levee Breaks” effect.

We love music. We love audio. We work out of a recording studio. We are, therefore, incredibly excited to announce the latest addition to our roster: Vintage King Audio!
