Truly Unique

Introduced in 1951, the M 50 became the benchmark in classical recording and was instrumental in developing the Decca Tree technique, thanks to its outstanding transient response and unique polar pattern. While omnidirectional at low frequencies, the M 50 becomes gradually more directional at high frequencies. The M 50 V is a faithful reissue according to original specifications, using documentation from the Neumann archive. 

Compatibility with Older M 50 Microphones

The M 50 V is fully compatible with the last historical variant M 50 c. (See “A Brief History of the M 50” below). For optimal bass extension, the lower corner frequency of the electronic circuit is set to 12 Hz (–3 dB). It may be changed to 30 Hz to suppress subsonic frequencies via an internal switch S4. To avoid damage, the internal switches should not be operated by the user, but only by Neumann Service.
