Truly Unique.

Neumann’s legendary tube microphone with a unique omni capsule is finally available again! The M 50 V is perfect for spaced omni and Decca Tree technique, featuring a unique omnidirectional capsule mounted in a 40 mm sphere, classic tube circuit with output transformer, and meticulously reproduced to original specifications.

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.

The AEA FC2 is a two-channel, fully balanced tube microphone preamp developed in collaboration with legendary designer Fred Forssell. Built around a cascoded hybrid topology that keeps the tubes operating in their optimal range, the FC2 delivers the depth and dimensionality of valves with the clarity, openness and linearity typically associated with the finest solid-state designs. Clean, musical and exceptionally refined, it represents a modern evolution of the iconic FetCode – reimagined for today’s professional studios.
