Neumann NM V Pattern Control Unit

Introducing the Neumann MN V Pattern Control Unit
Elevate your studio setup with the Neumann MN V Pattern Control Unit, the essential power supply replacement specifically designed for the M 49 V large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone. This unit is not only a perfect fit for the M 49 V but also compatible with all vintage Neumann microphones that utilize the AC 701 tube, including models like the M 49 and M 249. Ideal for professional recording environments, this pattern control unit enables precise control over the microphone's polar patterns, enhancing recording flexibility.

Versatile Polar Pattern Adjustment
The MN V Pattern Control Unit stands out with its ability to remotely adjust the microphone's polar pattern. Featuring a continuously adjustable pattern knob, it allows users to fine-tune the pickup pattern from omnidirectional, through cardioid, to figure-8, including all intermediate settings. This flexibility is crucial for tailoring your microphone's response to different recording situations, ensuring optimal capture of sound regardless of the source's location.

Advanced Power Management
Designed to meet the demands of studios around the world, the MN V includes a built-in power supply that automatically switches between 100 to 240 VAC, making it suitable for international use. It is equipped with dual, slow-blow fuses for enhanced safety and reliable operation. The unit’s sturdy power switch is designed to prevent accidental turn-offs, while a large indicator lamp emits a warm glow to signal that the power is active.

Engineered for High-Quality Performance
To maximize the lifespan and performance of its internal components, especially the tube, the MN V warms up gently with current limiting to prevent sudden electrical stress. Inside, the unit boasts a very effective filtering system that ensures operating voltages are of the highest quality, minimizing residual noise and enhancing the overall sound purity that Neumann microphones are known for.

Convenient Design and Connectivity
The MN V is built with practicality in mind, featuring a 7-pin XLR jack for microphone connection and a standard 3-pin XLR output for easy integration with preamps, mixing consoles, and audio interfaces. A top-mounted carry handle enhances its portability, making it easy to transport the unit within the studio or to remote locations. Manufactured in Germany, this pattern control unit embodies reliability and durability, and ships with a power cable included.
