Neumann M49V:Technically speaking, the M 49 V is a large diaphragm tube microphone with a silky, warm and magically rich, deep sound. In fact, since it conquered the recording and broadcasting studios in 1951, no introduction was necessary at all. One of the reasons: The revolutionary microphone had a remotely switchable polar pattern (from omnidirectional to cardioid to figure-eight). At that time, most bands or orchestras were recorded with a few, often permanently installed microphones. Remote switching saved a lot of time and the engineers could work with the same microphone in many situations, from vocals to instruments. Even if the remote setting plays a minor role today, the unmistakable sound remains unrivalled to this day. Although today's production is dominated by digital workflows, the warm magic of a tube-driven analogue microphone remains unsurpassed. The M 49 has been one of the icons of the genre for over 70 years. For many reasons, it is an inseparable part of the Neumann DNA.With the new version, owners can now choose to extend the bass sensitivity and lower the high-pass frequency from the original 30 Hz to an incredible 12 Hz - a tribute to modern listening and recording culture. Another option is part of the classic circuitry and allows the user to switch the microphone to a fixed cardioid pattern (the most commonly used setting anyway). This increases the sensitivity by 2 dB and reduces the equivalent noise level by 3 dB. This setting provides even more M 49 magic and intimacy, especially for voice or vocal recordings. Please note that both options should not be changed by the customer. They are intended to be made to order.

The EV PL 44 is a professional, dynamic microphone with a supercardioid polar pattern, developed for vocals in any mix. The EV PL 44 has an optimised frequency response for vocals with present mids and bass cut.

The TLM 103 is the ideal large diaphragm microphone for all those who do not want to do without uncompromisingly professional technology despite tight budget limits.

Battery or phantom power and a low-noise output stage guarantee a wide range of applications.

The d:facto™ series provides a true studio sound on the live stage and in the broadcast studio. These microphones are available in an extremely linear version and in a version with presence boost. The modularity of the d:facto™ series allows capsule and adapter replacement, making it the most flexible vocal microphone on the market. Vocal microphone (4018V) is linear, but with presence boost. The 4018V is often chosen because it "cuts through" in the recording studio, where content is usually delivered to in-built television speakers with limited audio quality.Apart from linearity/boost, these microphones are identical. Both versions offer an isolation-optimised supercardioid polar pattern. This polar pattern offers the best of both worlds - cardioid and supercardioid. These microphones are equipped with a three-stage pop protection grille for loud vocals and offer the lowest handling noise in their class. They also offer excellent sound reproduction with all the detail, balanced linear phase and frequency response that users have always relied on from DPA microphones.

The MD 421 II is one of the best-known microphones in the world. Thanks to its tonal qualities, it can be used in a wide variety of recording situations and in all areas of sound transmission technology. The 5-position bass switch emphasises its all-round qualities.

Equipped with a suitable double-dome diaphragm design to maintain directivity over the entire frequency range, introducing only the slightest off-axis colouration for excellent phase cohesion in multi-microphone configurations. Equipped with a switchable low-pass filter that eliminates harsh high-frequency noise without negatively affecting the overall sound of an instrument.

Neumann KM 184 has a very flat frequency response both on the 0-axis and at lateral sound incidence. Therefore, in practice, large recording angles can be transmitted without discolouration. The KM 183 and KM 184 microphones are the successors to the tried and tested KM 83 and KM 84, which have been used with great success worldwide since the 1970s. The KM 185 adds the hypercardioid characteristic to the series. The slim design and excellent transmission characteristics in particular make the "Series 180" microphones ideal for a wide range of radio and television applications.

When the ML-1 was launched years ago, emulating the timbre of over 25 hand-picked vintage microphones was a milestone for many users. The new ML-1A and the newly developed Virtual Microphone System plug-in now come with optimised hardware and additional important functions.The new ML-1A large diaphragm condenser microphone is ideal for recording vocals, live instruments, drum kits and almost any other application. It has a slimmer, dark grey housing with a redesigned grille and an optimised capsule. Apart from the aesthetic differences, the most important new feature of the ML-1A is the new three-stage pad switch with 0 dB/ -10 dB/ -20 dB. With the -20 dB pad activated, up to 145 dB SPL can be recorded. The ML-1A also has a lower self-noise for sparkling clean recordings.The usability of the virtual microphone models has also been significantly improved as all microphone models are now housed in a standalone plugin.The new VMS plugin offers numerous new functions. For example, the "Microphone Model Morphing" allows cross-fading between two microphone models, the "Proximity" control simulates the natural bass boost by placing it close to the sound source and the "Monoto Stereo Widening" ensures the "widening" of voices in the stereo spectrum, which optimises the contrast of backing vocals, for example.And as if that wasn't enough, the ML-1A comes with the brand new "Radio France Signature" microphone package. To celebrate the company's French roots, the ten most famous microphones from the legendary Radio France headquarters have been recreated. From studio microphones to an "indestructible" microphone to the largest ribbon microphone ever made, the microphones in this pack are unique developments that make (not only) the human voice sound great.
