While it first earned praise from broadcasters as a world-class vocal microphone, and later from producers as a power-house kick drum microphone, the M 49 was also an industry-standard for live orchestral recordings. Used in a matched stereo pair, the M 49 delivers unparalleled depth and detail as an overhead mic, both on the stage and in the studio (they work exceptionally well as drum overheads).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eTHE LEGENDARY M 49 REVIVED\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMade to original specifications using archived documentation, the Neumann M 49 V is the reincarnation of the iconic M 49 multi-pattern tube condenser microphone that transformed the art of studio recording throughout the 1950s and 60s. The definition of a classic, the M 49 has graced recordings by legends ranging from Miles Davis to Adele. Now, after years of engineering, trials and sourcing original components, Neumann has recreated that magic with a modern version of the M 49 that sounds identical to the original in direct A\/B comparisons by the world’s top engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWords like \"rich,\" \"warm\" and \"silky\" only get close to the sound of the M 49 V. This is the mic that countless others strive to emulate, with a depth and character all its own. Being a large-diaphragm tube microphone, the M 49 V excels at capturing dynamic vocalists, but it’s also extremely flattering on acoustic instruments and provides an incredibly lush, open sound as a room mic. With a factory modification, the M 49 V is available with the classic 30 Hz high-pass filter or a 12 Hz filter for a more modern low-end sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe microphone connects to the Pattern Control Unit via a special seven-pin cable, providing power and allowing you to blend between omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-eight patterns with a continuously variable knob. With a factory modification, the M 49 V is available in a cardioid-only configuration with 2 dB greater sensitivity and 3 dB lower equivalent noise. A standard 3-pin XLR jack serves as the output of the unit. Additionally, the Pattern Control Unit automatically adapts to different mains voltages.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe original M 49 went through several iterations, each with subtle changes to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, dynamic range and interference rejection. While the M 49 V’s circuit is based on the latest revision, the M 49 c, Neumann has used a new subminiature tube for even lower noise. Finally, because radio-frequency interference is much more common today, the mic includes an RF-proof connector originally found on the M 249 broadcast variant. These updates bring a truly historic microphone into the modern age, ready to unlock the hidden detail and depth in your recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neumann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450887663719,"sku":"184685","price":18290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/neumann-m-49-v_184685_1_fd0618a1-818b-4db2-8c4a-e56e6d41677a.jpg?v=1787094965","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/neumann-m-49-v-tube-condenser-mic-matched-stereo-pair","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
