The Neumann MN V Pattern Control Unit is a replacement power supply for the M 49 V large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone. It is also suitable in principle for operating all vintage Neumann microphones utilizing the AC 701 tube, such as the older M 49 and M 249.
This classical pattern control unit is designed to remotely operate the microphone. Use the pattern knob to continuously adjust the polar pattern from omnidirectional to cardioid to figure-8 and including intermediate settings.
The built-in power supply automatically switches between the 100 to 240 VAC mains voltage ranges for use internationally. Dual, slow-blow fuses enable safe operation. The sturdy power switch minimizes accidentally switching off the unit and a large indicator lamp emits a warm glow when the power supply is on.
To ensure a long life, the tube is heated up gently, with current limiting. A very effective filtering inside the NM V ensures very high-quality operating voltages, with a minimum of residual noise voltages.
The MN V utilizes a 7-pin XLR jack for connection to your microphone and a 3-pin XLR for standardized connectivity with microphone preamps, mixing consoles, and audio interfaces.
Built in Germany, the unit ships with a power cable and features a top-mounted carry handle for easy transport.
