Neumann.Berlin M 150 Tube Folheto
• All Titanium capsule
• Unparalleled transient accuracy
• Pressure omni capsule for
extended low frequency response
• Modern version of the
world-famous M 50
• Transformerless tube amplifier
based on the award-winning
M 149 Tube microphone
M 149 Tube microphone
• Ideal for DECCA tree recording
and surround miking techniques
• Very low self noise of 15 dB-A
• Stereo sets with consecutive
serial numbers
The new M 150 Tube takes many of the fea-
tures from the original M 50 and incorporates
them in a very modern microphone. With low
self noise, a Titanium membrane and capsule,
transformerless tube amplifier and sophisticat-
ed power supply, the M 150 Tube is not a reis-
sue but an entirely new microphone in its own
right.

Acoustical features
The Titanium diaphragm of the pressure cap-
sule is 12 mm in diameter and is exceedingly
thin. Although Titanium has been known to have
unique and desirable characteristics for some
time, it has, until very recently, been very diffi-
cult to procure in the quality necessary for use
in a microphone of this type.

The headgrille is shaped just like that on the
original M 50, as requested by various top en-
gineers in the recording industry. Due to mount-
ing the pressure capsule with the diaphragm
flush to the surface of a small (40 mm) sphere,
the directional characteristic of the M 150 Tube

At the lowest frequencies, this system is a pure
omnipressure transducer with a perfectly cir-
cular polar pattern. However, in the mid- and
upper frequencies, the pickup pattern becomes
more narrow. The M 150 Tube is an ideal
microphone for any stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 surround
recording, particularly DECCA Tree tech-
nique.

Electrical features
The dynamic range of the M 150 Tube is
119 dB, allowing reproduction of the full musi-
cal expression, without restraint.

With a low self noise of 15 dB-A, more gain
can be used without risk of adding noise to
the final product. The transformerless output
circuit of this microphone allows for extreme-
ly fine reproduction of small signals and low
frequency information. Also, long cable runs
can be used with no loss of signal quality.

Description
Since the 1950s, the Neumann M 50 has been
heralded as the ideal microphone for orches-
tral recording and string scoring. With its phe-
nomenal transient response and unique direc-
tional characteristic, this classic mic has en-
deared many fans, both in the control room and
on the soundstage.
