About Neumann M 49 V

Make your recordings stand out with the M 49 V Set Multi-Pattern Tube Condenser Studio Microphone with NM V Pattern Control Unit. This legendary microphone, first introduced in 1951, has been reissued to meet original specifications, offering the same revolutionary studio technology that has shaped countless recordings over the decades.

The M 49 V is renowned for its full, silky sound and its continuously variable, remote-switchable polar pattern. This innovative feature, a first in studio technology, allows for seamless control of the microphone's directional characteristic without the need to replace the capsule.

This versatile microphone boasts a balanced frequency response in all directional patterns, from omnidirectional to cardioid to figure-8, including intermediate settings. Whether you're recording an orchestra, piano, trumpet, or vocals, the M 49 V ensures high-quality sound capture for all types of recordings.

The M 49 V set includes the iconic yoke mount, known for its flexible positioning, contributing to the microphone's immense popularity. The set also comes with the NM V pattern control unit, designed to automatically provide the optimal heater voltage for both the M 49 V and any historical M 49. It also automatically adapts to the local mains voltage.

The M 49 V is fully compatible with the last historical variant M 49 c. It features a 1st order high pass filter at 30 Hz, which suppresses low frequency interference such as impact noise. The high-pass frequency can be lowered to 12 Hz via an internal switch S4, reproducing the low frequency response of the early M 49 models.

The M 49 V set is delivered in a high-quality case, handmade in Germany, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into each microphone.

In summary, the M 49 V Set Multi-Pattern Tube Condenser Studio Microphone with NM V Pattern Control Unit is a testament to Neumann's commitment to quality and innovation. It's not just a microphone; it's a piece of recording history, ready to bring your sound to life.
