Neumann vækker legendarisk rørmikrofon til live
Neumann 'genlancerer' en de mest ikoniske mikrofoner i indspilningshistorien. M50 V er en tro genskabelse af den legendariske rørmikrofon, som har været med til at forme lyden til utallige klassiske indspilninger og filmproduktioner (in english).
Neumann has announced the return of one of the most iconic microphones in recording history: the M 50 V, a faithful reissue of the legendary tube microphone that shaped the sound of countless classical recordings and film scores.
Introduced in 1951, the original M 50 became the benchmark for orchestral recording and was instrumental in developing the Decca Tree technique, thanks to its unique polar pattern and outstanding transient response. Today, the M 50 V brings this heritage into the modern era with meticulous attention to detail and subtle improvements for contemporary workflows.
Neumann preserved the original acoustical concept, including the small diaphragm omni capsule mounted in a 40 mm sphere, while introducing a titanium diaphragm for improved stability and longevity. This ensures the same vivid imaging and powerful bass response that made the M 50 legendary.
Precision, heritage, and sonic brilliance
The M 50 V combines the original circuit design with specially selected ultra-low-noise subminiature tube and an RF-proof connector to ensure immunity against interference in today’s environments. The included NM V power supply automatically adapts to local mains voltage and supports both the new M 50 V and historical M 50 microphones.
- Our goal was to honor the legacy while meeting the demands of modern recording. The M 50 V is handmade in Germany to original specifications, but with enhancements like a titanium capsule and improved mechanical decoupling in the yoke mount. It is the ultimate choice for orchestral recordings and film scoring, be it in stereo, surround, or immersive formats, explains Jorma Marquardt, Portfolio Manager at Neumann.
