Description
Neumann M49V Set – legendary tube sound with a modern heart The Neumann M49V Set is a reissue of the legendary M 49 tube microphone, which has set the standard in professional studios since 1951. Faithfully built according to original specifications and enhanced with subtle technical improvements, the M49V offers the unmistakable silky sound that shaped countless iconic recordings – from jazz to pop. Handcrafted in Germany, it embodies premium quality, engineering precision, and timeless sonic character.
Product Features Reissue of the iconic M 49 from the 1950s and 60s Continuously variable polar pattern – remote-controlled Classic tube circuit with output transformer Authentic vintage sound with improved noise performance RF-resistant connector inspired by the M 249 model A professional tool for exceptional recordings The M49V combines vintage tone with modern reliability. Its ultra-low-noise subminiature tube and advanced NM V power supply – which automatically adapts to your mains voltage – ensure excellent sound and flawless operation in any studio setting. The polar pattern is smoothly adjustable from the power unit, giving you precise control from omnidirectional to cardioid to figure-8, and every point in between.
Based on the last historic revision (M 49c), the M49V improves on its predecessor with reduced self-noise and greater RF immunity. Internal DIP switches allow for compatibility with earlier circuit configurations such as fixed cardioid mode or the classic low-end response without high-pass filtering – all performed by authorized Neumann service.
Applications Thanks to its versatile sound and flexible polar patterns, the Neumann M49V excels in: Vocal recording (pop, jazz, classical, podcast) Acoustic instruments (piano, double bass, strings) Brass and woodwinds Room capture in stereo or surround configurations Technical Specifications Type: Pressure gradient condenser microphone Polar pattern: Continuously variable (omni – cardioid – figure-8) Frequency range: 40 Hz – 16 kHz Sensitivity: 6.5–10 mV/Pa ± 1 dB Output impedance: 200 Ω Self-noise (A-weighted): 19–21 dB-A Max SPL (THD 0.5%): 125 dB Power supply: NM V power unit Connector: KC 5 (7-pin), XLR 3F Weight: 800 g Dimensions: 163 mm length, 80 mm diameter Materials & Construction The Neumann M49V is built with meticulous attention to detail.
