For those who have not yet had the privilege of using and falling in love with an M49, to say that it’s silky smooth” is an understatement. The Tribute 4 captures in a beautifully realistic way all sources put before it.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe M49 is an international favorite, revered by many to be the best microphone ever made. For almost 70 years, the M49 has moulded their listening by being used in countless millions of recordings, from the 50’s right through to today. The M49 was the first microphone to utilize the slant grille technique, allowing the artist to further rely on their level of skill and reduces the sometimes unwanted proximity effect that is exhibited by microphones without the slant grille.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eCIRCUIT DESIGN\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe transformer is the BeesNeez BV-11 Transformer. The BV-11 audio transformer is handmade by BeesNeez to the original specifications, in Australia. The BV11 was made famous by its use in the M49\/M50 Microphone. They have chosen a PCB-style pin bobbin that fits into a PCB or can be leaded, like the original. These are not mass-produced, but rather are wound by hand by BeesNeez staff on their premises with care and attention to each transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe capsule in the Tribute 4 is the BeesNeez M7 microphone capsule which is handmade in their Australian factory from the original gun barrel material that Neumann used more than 65 years ago. Until recently, this material was not available. However, lots of research and bulk buying has enabled BeesNeez to have it re-made. The M7 was made famous in microphones, such as the Neumann M49, U47, the Gefell CMV563, and many others since. The main reason for the popularity of this capsule is its realistic analogy of the source material, its great mathematic proximity, and its sultry overtones. The tube in the Tribute 4 condenser microphone is a 6S6B-V Russian Military tube.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eBUILD QUALITY\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe manufacture of this microphone takes manufacturing excellence to its limit. The body tube is turned and machined down from bronze cast. BeesNeez painstakingly hand press and cut the grilles, followed by hand mandrel forming of the top mesh rail. The unique swivel screw connector, made only by BeesNeez, adds to the structural integrity and longevity of the BeesNeez Tribute 4. The Bakelite and the turned gold pin connectors ensure many thousands of plugs and unplugs, giving your microphone a very long life span.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eWHAT’S INCLUDED:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBeesNeez Tribute 4 Microphone\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwivel Mount Connector and Lead\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBeesNeez Classic Series Power Supply\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWooden Box\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BeesNeez Microphones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451027091559,"sku":"211363","price":3961.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/beesneez-tribute-4-mulitpattern-tube-condenser-microphone-24_211363_1_dfc5a0cd-0aec-419c-962e-d97479de7074.jpg?v=1787095532","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/beesneez-tribute-4-mulitpattern-tube-condenser-microphone","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
