Neumann M50c #88 (Vintage)
Omnidrectional tube microphone system - Museum Quality Condition

Product Description

This mic has been thoroughly  refurbished by Neumann. Originally an M50, it has been upgraded to the M50 'C' version with the correct components. New rubber internal shock mount, new wiring and plastic capsule base, original M50 plexiglass sphere with aluminum diaphragm.

History

The Neumann M50 is a pressure-type microphone with non-directional characteristics. After its introduction in 1950, the outstanding character of the M50 made it a standard for the recording of symphony orchestras. A pair of M50's were famously used on one of the very first commercially available stereo recordings: 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' by Richard Strauss, released by RCA in 1954. This performance by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Fritz Reiner is still available today, although instead of open-reel tape, you can now hear the brilliance of the Neumann M50 microphone in SACD
