Neumann M 249
discontinued Multi-Pattern Condenser Tube Microphone
Description
The M249 was a multipattern tube condenser microphone. It is identical to Neumann’s M 49 in every way but one: the output connector is a 7-pin Tuchel, installed to better serve the broadcast industry.
See the M 49 profile for more information.
The M 249 was introduced in 1961 and produced until 1972. Some of the original M 49 mics were modified to use the Tuchel adapter; their model numbers were changed by the factory.
The Neumann M 249 is also known as: M249.
The mic was released in 1961.
