Soundelux e49

Description

The e49 was a multipattern tube mic built around a K47-style large-diaphragm capsule. The mic employed an innovative double-shockmounting system to reduce transduction of mechanical noise through the body of the microphone.

The mic was inspired by, and to some degree modeled after the Neumann M49, which was the first multipattern mic whose pattern-control switch was on the power supply rather than the microphone.

Unlike the M49, which used MSC2 and AC701 tubes, the e49 used an EF732/5840.

The mic was released in 2003.
