Neumann M49, the origin:
- The Neumann M49 was developed in the early 1950s by Neumann.
- It featured a variable polar pattern controlled via the power supply unit, allowing the pattern to be adjusted remotely from up to 90 metres away.
- Based on the same sonic philosophy as the U47 and U48, it offered a smoother, more natural sound, with great versatility between omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-of-eight patterns.
- It quickly became a studio and broadcast standard and can be heard on countless jazz and soul recordings from the 1950s and 1960s.
