TRUE GREATNESS
Introduced in 1951, the M 49 revolutionized studio technology with its continuously variable, remote-switchable polar pattern. And, of course, with its incomparably full, silky sound, which has made its mark on countless recordings to this day. The M 49 V is what many have been eagerly waiting for: a reissue according to original specifications!
The M 49 V set includes the newly designed power supply NM V. Since the new, very low-noise subminiature tube requires a somewhat higher heater voltage, the M 49 V should not be operated using historical power supplies. Conversely, however, the NM V can also be used for old M 49 microphones. An automatic function ensures that the optimum heating voltage is always provided for the tube used. In addition, the NM V automatically adapts to the local mains voltage. Nevertheless, it is not a modern switch mode power supply but a conventional linear power supply – for sound reasons!
