Description

• The Neumann M50 is a pressure-type microphone with non-directional characteristics. After its introduction in 1950, the outstanding tonal quality and omnidirectional pattern of the Neumann M50 made it the gold standard for the recording of symphony orchestras, either with the single-microphone technique, a stereo pair, or the Decca Tree for three-track recordings. A pair of M50's were famously used on one of the very first commercially available stereo recordings: 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' by Richard Strauss, released by RCA in 1954. This stellar performance by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Fritz Reiner is still available today, although instead of open-reel tape, modern audiophiles can hear the brilliance of the Neumann M50 microphone in SACD and other high-resolution formats.
