help Neumann M 49 V FAQ
Is the Neumann M 49 V a vintage microphone or a modern reissue?
The M 49 V is Neumann's modern reissue of the original M 49, which entered production in 1951. Introduced in 2022, the V version follows the later M 49 c circuit while using a newly selected low-noise subminiature tube.
Can the M 49 V change polar patterns without touching the microphone?
Yes. Its NM V control unit adjusts the pattern continuously from omnidirectional through cardioid to figure-8, including intermediate positions.
Can the M 49 V use an original M 49 power supply?
Neumann advises against powering the M 49 V from a historical supply because the new tube requires a different heater voltage. The included NM V supply can safely adapt itself to either the reissue or a historical M 49.
What comes in the Neumann M 49 V Set?
The set includes the M 49 V microphone, NM V pattern controller, KC 5 cable, MZ 49 A yoke-style shock mount, and an aluminum case. The microphone and case are handmade in Germany.
