The Neumann M 50 V is a faithful reissue of one of the most legendary microphones ever produced, preserving the iconic sound that has defined orchestral and classical recordings for decades. Combining authentic vintage tube technology with modern manufacturing precision, the M 50 V delivers remarkable transparency, spaciousness, and natural tonal balance. It remains the preferred choice for Decca Tree stereo arrays, orchestral recording, film scoring, and other demanding studio applications where exceptional acoustic realism is essential.

Legendary Tube Sound

Built around a classic vacuum tube circuit and Neumann's renowned BV11 output transformer, the M 50 V produces the warm, open, and highly detailed sound signature that made the original microphone famous. Its exceptional transient response and natural harmonic character make it ideal for capturing complex acoustic performances.

Unique Spherical Capsule Design

Unlike conventional condenser microphones, the M 50 V features a titanium diaphragm mounted on a 40 mm acrylic sphere.
