The Neumann M 50 is an omnidirectional condenser microphone from the manufacturer's historical range. It is built around a small diaphragm capsule that sits flush mounted in a small sphere. An open mesh headbasket houses the capsule.
The microphone played an important part in the development of the Decca tree recording technique, and that role is closely tied to its reputation. The sphere-mounted capsule gives it distinctive acoustic properties, which suit it to orchestral recording.
Technical figures such as sensitivity, frequency range, impedance and connector type are not specified in this overview, so check them against the full data sheet before buying or pairing the microphone with other equipment.
