Neumann reissue the fabulous M49 mic

Introduced in 1951, the Neumann M 49 revolutionized studio technology with its continuously variable, remote-switchable polar pattern and, of course, with its incomparably full, silky sound, which has made its mark on countless recordings to this day.

The M 49 V is what many have been eagerly waiting for: a reissue according to original specifications.

The objective itself was grand: in the early 1950s, a reference microphone was developed in cooperation with the Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (Northwest German Broadcasting) that was to replace all previous ones.

With its balanced frequency response in all directional patterns from omnidirectional to cardioid to figure-8, including intermediate settings, the M 49 is a truly universal microphone.

Countless legendary recordings from cool jazz to present day pop bear its elegant sound signature. The M 49 is an inseparable part of the Neumann DNA.

At last, the legend is available again! The M 49 V is a reissue of the last revision c.

The M 49 V uses the same circuit as the M 49 c, but with an even lower noise subminiature tube.

So, definitely, with the new M49V you get:

• Reissue of the legendary M 49 with detail improvements
• Superb vocal microphone for male and female voices
• Versatile microphone for all types of instruments
• Classic tube circuit with output transformer
• Continuously variable polar pattern, remote controlled
• Made to original specifications using archived documentation
• Handmade and hand soldered in Germany
• Handmade vintage case manufactured in Germany
