Taking the iconic M 50 and enhancing it for modern production work, the Neumann M 50 V is a large-diaphragm tube condenser with a unique spherical 40mm acrylic capsule and a titanium diaphragm for an even omnidirectional pickup that becomes more directional at higher frequencies. Ideal for Decca Tree use and orchestral recording, this mic offers excellent sound quality.

The K 33 Ti capsule combines the acoustic design of the original K 53 capsule but with improved build quality. The large BV11 output transformer and classic subminiature tube are the same as the original M 50 mic. The output connector has been improved with an RF-resistant design, ideal for working in modern environments blanketed by Wi-Fi and cell phone interference. The NM V power supply offers universal power input, providing reliable power in any environment worldwide. This microphone is handmade and hand soldered in Germany. The M 50 V includes a yoke mount with elastic shock absorbers, a 33' XLR mic cable, and a carrying case.

Legendary Pedigree
Released in 1951, the M 50 was the counterpart to the M 49. While the latter was a high-quality all-purpose studio microphone with unheard-of flexibility, the M 50 was conceived as the ultimate pressure transducer microphone for critical applications in dedicated recording rooms. As a result, the M 50 was to shape classical recording like no other microphone. To this day, it is the prime choice for Decca Tree recording techniques, which for most recording engineers has remained the go-to main microphone setup.
Back in the 1950s, Decca conducted groundbreaking experiments to find the ideal technique for stereo recording, and ultimately settled on three Neumann M 50 microphones, arranged in a triangle. Today, the Decca Tree is often complemented with additional outriggers, again, preferably M 50s. For immersive recordings, even more microphones are required. So, there is quite some demand for Neumann M 50 microphones.

Instead of becoming outdated, improvements in recording technology have progressively unveiled the breathtaking sound quality of the Neumann M 50. Yet originals have not been produced for more than 50 years. Now, you can own a true M 50, enhanced with design improvements for engineers working in the modern RF-laden world.

Applications
Like its historical ancestors, the M 50 V will mostly be used in the main microphone array for orchestral recordings, be it classical music or film scores. Standard setups will be two or more M 50 V microphones as spaced omnis or Decca Tree setup with three M 50 V microphones mounted in a triangle with the left and right microphones at an outward angle.

For large ensembles there will often be additional outriggers. Of course, the M 50 V can also be used in many other application, such as piano recording or as a spot mic for string and brass sections or on percussion. In pop/rock contexts, the M 50 V may be used as a room mic. In addition, the M 50 V may also attract microphone collectors.

M 50 V vs M 150
The M 50 V uses the same titanium capsule as the acclaimed M 150 in a very similar housing, but the electronics are completely different. While the M 50 V uses a classic tube circuit with an output transformer, the M 150 has a more modern tube circuit with a transformerless solid state output stage.

In other words, the M 50 V is for customers who want the original. The M 150 is a slightly less expensive alternative with a similar sound. Both offer excellent specs.

Good Look and Adjustable Heights
Size: 16 Inch
Legs are sturdy enough, but to hold a small marble top, it required additional glue to secure the "wobble." Adjustable height was excellent and material quality good. Easy enough to install and works well for a table that I don't plan to move frequently.

There is no side to side stability
Size: 28 Inch
This product was easy to assemble and install and came with all parts. The product itself is very sturdy, looks good with a nice industrial aesthetic BUT - there is ZERO stability side to side (lengthwise) as the plates which attach to the wood are too small. I have them set closer than the picture so it is not an issue of being too far apart. If anyone else had this problem AND FIGURED OUT A FIX FOR IT - please share!!
