Hey guys! Considering the recent rumors about the m49 Reissue I think it will be interesting for you to look at this video. This mic looks like a brand new M49 and the shockmount also looks brand new! Neumann added this video to their page. "Sennheiser sessions"  |

The cable stands out more than anything. Same style cable/connector as the U67 RI, except the knurled piece is slightly longer.

Anyone know what tube is likely to be used on the M49 reissue? If I recall, it was going to be a limited reissue. If that is true, it may be because of the tube.

If truly nos ac701k tubes, that’s definitely explain a limited run… But I still don’t think it’s worth-while for Neumann with only a run of 100 or anywhere remotely close to it! And even if does turn out that small of a run, it doesn’t matter to me. They’ll sell out within hours to those with some deep pockets. That counts most everyone out! That’d be some poor decision making!

Wow! Very cool. Looking forward to this! I’ll sell my whole studio so I can buy this, and just grab a zoom recorder lol.

Absolutely insane if this is true.

Hmm... It does look a bit like the MXL 990. Hey, turn around is fair play! Maybe even a special keychain USB version? Chris |

At this point, I don't see how they could release it with an ac701k. If they do, they've got a big stash, as they are getting almost as rare as VF14's. If they don't have the ac701k's, they are just a clone, and I'm not interested for the price they will invariably bring.
To be blunt - great M49's are THE mic that I would do just about anything to procure...... A modern one with ac701k would be the mic release of this century.

Maybe next April 1st, I'll luck into some "M49 tubes". Like the mint VF-14's I found, at a Berlin Oktoberfest yard sale. Chris |

Well I just purchased two NOS AC701's . One cost 550 Euro and the other with Neumann makings on it cost 650 Euro and those are bargain prices these days.
It doesn't have to be a reissue. I have been at Neumann Berlin and they have some immaculate NOS vintage mics but I agree that connector is not vintage.

After a quick check some original Neumann M249's used this connector.

I have a Bock 49 “Custom Shop” that has a AC701K tube. I *think* you can order them directly from David. |
