Neumann M49 Pair #2521/2522 (Vintage) – No Longer Available
Vintage multi-pattern tube microphones
Product Description
Consecutive pair of mics in excellent condition. Very rare to find a pair of these with consecutive serial numbers. Comes with new K47 capsules, AC701 tubes, original cases, cables and PSU's; new Peluso yoke mounts.
The M 49 is best known for its use on Miles Davis, Barbara Streisand, Simon and Garfunkel, and Duke Ellington, along with countless other classics. This mic has an incredibly rich and round tone that has the ability to make even harsher sounds much more pleasant and warm. Great on most female vocals - Norah Jones used one on her first album, and it was a favorite of Aretha Franklin.
The M49 has a dual-diaphragm design, which allowed it to become the first condenser microphone with a remotely switchable pickup pattern having constant sensitivity: the psu doubles as a pattern selector, with a continuously-variable potentiometer for choosing cardioid, omni-directional, figure-eight or any position in-between the three.
Released in 1952, the M49 was a huge success, and became a standard radio broadcast microphone in Germany, as well as a staple in orchestra halls, being used as the main overhead microphone for recording.
