True Greatness
Introduced in 1951, the 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 M 49 is a great microphone in every respect. For as impressive as its physical appearance is its incomparable sound. With its revolutionary technology, the M 49 has set new standards altogether. The M 49 is a true Neumann legend.
The Best of the Best
At last, the legend is available again! The M 49 V is a reissue of the last revision c. Over the years, the M 49 was continuously improved: the originally installed Hiller tube MSC2 was replaced by the Telefunken tube AC701 and then the AC701k. This and other circuit changes improved the signal-to-noise ratio, dynamic range, and immunity to interference. In parallel, a broadcast version, the M 249, was issued with an RF-proof connector. The M 49 V uses the same circuit as the M 49 c, but with an even lower noise subminiature tube. Since high-frequency interference has increased dramatically due to mobile phone networks and WiFi, the RF-proof connector has been adopted from the M 249. The included NM V pattern control unit is 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. Additionally, the M 49 V set includes the iconic yoke mount, whose flexible positioning has contributed to the M 49’s enormous popularity. The M 49 V set is delivered in a high-quality case, which, like the entire microphone, is handmade in Germany.
