Building on the legacy of the original M 50 and tailoring it for contemporary production needs, the Neumann M 50 V Omnidirectional Large-Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone is a large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone featuring a distinctive spherical 40mm acrylic capsule with a titanium diaphragm. Its design ensures exceptionally even omnidirectional pickup that grows more directional at higher frequencies, making it particularly well-suited for Decca Tree configurations and orchestral recordings, where pristine sound quality is paramount.
Acoustic Design
The K 33 Ti capsule in the M 50 V echoes the acoustic blueprint of the classic K 53 capsule but introduces enhanced build quality for greater consistency and reliability. The microphone maintains the same oversized BV11 output transformer and vintage subminiature tube as the famed original M 50, preserving its signature sound.
Modern Enhancements
To meet the demands of today’s recording environments, the output connector has been upgraded with RF-resistant engineering. This provides added protection from Wi-Fi and cell phone interference, which is ubiquitous in modern studios and live venues. The NM V power supply is designed to accept universal power inputs, offering robust and reliable performance in any corner of the world.
Superior Craftsmanship & Included Accessories
Each M 50 V microphone is meticulously handmade and hand soldered in Germany, reflecting Neumann’s commitment to craftsmanship. Included with the microphone are a yoke mount equipped with elastic shock absorbers, a 33-foot XLR mic cable, and a sturdy carrying case—ensuring convenient setup and secure transport for professionals on the move.
