From the seller
I'm reluctantly letting this go to help fund a major new studio investment— otherwise it would never leave my collection.
What's original
Body, grille, and electronics— never modified, never repaired, never needed it
AC701K tube
Capsule
Tuchel connector (now on a Mogami cable)
What isn't (so there are no surprises)
Power supply: Peak Power tube supply (#1185), built for the M49 by Bill Bradley at The Mic Shop in Franklin, TN, and calibrated specifically for this mic. Pattern knob on the front— omni through cardioid to figure-8. The original Neumann supply is not included.
Peluso yoke mount
Also included
Original Neumann M 49b storage box
Waterproof Gator case
Condition
Cosmetically it shows only normal handling wear for a nearly 70-year-old microphone. The grille is in excellent shape and the internals are exceptionally clean. It works flawlessly and sounds absolutely stunning.
Buying it
I'm in Manhattan. Happy to have you come hear it and run through the patterns before you buy (local pickup available).
Or I'll do a live video call and show you the serial, capsule, and tube up close.
