Neumann M 50 V Set - Omnidirectional Microphone Reissue

Neumann M 50 V Set - Omnidirectional Microphone Reissue

The wait is over! At last, Neumann has resumed production of the original. Its groundbreaking concept remains unchanged: A small diaphragm sits flush mounted in a 40 mm acrylic sphere. The result is an even response in the diffuse field as well as a gradually increasing directivity at higher frequencies. The K 33 Ti capsule used in the M 50 V combines the acoustical design of the original K 53 capsule with improved build quality. Instead of nickel or aluminum, the delicate metal diaphragm of the K 33 Ti is made of titanium, a light and durable material, ideal for this purpose.

The electronics stay true to the original design as well. The M 50 V uses the same circuit as the last historical version, including the large BV11 output transformer. To combat electromagnetic interference from modern day Wi-Fi and mobile phones, the M 50 V comes with the RF-proof connector of the historical broadcast version M 250. The subminiature tube used is the same type that has already proven its sonic excellence in the M 49 V. The M 50 V also comes with the same NM V power supply which automatically adapts to the local mains voltage. Its polar pattern selector, of course, is of no consequence for the M 50 V with its fixed omni capsule.

For easy positioning, the M 50 V comes with the iconic yoke mount which now includes elastic elements for rumble protection. The M 50 V Set is completed by a 10 m (33 ft) cable and a high-quality case.
