Omnidirectional Tube Microphone, Titanium Diaphragm, Transformerless Amplifier, 119 dB Dynamic Range, Low Self-Noise, DECCA Tree and Surround Sound Recording
Features:
Modern Engineering Meets Classic Sound
The Neumann M 150 Tube is a state-of-the-art omnidirectional tube microphone that builds upon the legacy of the legendary M 50 while incorporating modern innovations for pristine audio quality. Designed specifically for high-resolution orchestral and surround recording applications, this microphone features a titanium diaphragm, transformerless tube amplifier, and an advanced power supply. With incredibly low self-noise and exceptional transient accuracy, the M 150 Tube is a must-have for engineers and producers seeking unmatched detail and depth in their recordings.
Titanium Capsule for Unparalleled Transient Response
One of the standout features of the M 150 Tube is its precision-engineered titanium diaphragm. At just 12mm in diameter, this ultra-thin membrane delivers lightning-fast transient response, capturing the most delicate sonic details with lifelike realism. Unlike conventional diaphragms, the titanium construction ensures superior rigidity while maintaining an ultra-low mass, allowing the microphone to handle fast, complex audio sources without distortion or coloration.
Omnidirectional Pickup with Unique Directional Behavior
At low frequencies, the M 150 Tube functions as a true omnidirectional microphone, making it ideal for ambient room capture and expansive stereo imaging. However, thanks to its unique spherical head grille design, the microphone exhibits a more directional response in the mid and upper frequencies. This characteristic makes it particularly well-suited for DECCA Tree and surround sound recording techniques, where precise spatial accuracy and extended frequency response are required.
Transformerless Tube Amplifier for Crystal-Clear Sound
Neumann has combined the warmth of a vacuum tube with a transformerless circuit to create a microphone that retains the musicality of classic tube designs while offering the pristine clarity of modern solid-state circuitry. The result is an extended dynamic range of 119 dB, allowing the microphone to capture both whisper-quiet details and explosive dynamics without introducing unwanted noise or distortion.
Perfect for Orchestral and Surround Recording
With its ability to capture expansive frequency ranges and intricate sonic textures, the M 150 Tube is a premier choice for orchestral, classical, and film scoring applications. Whether used in a DECCA Tree configuration or as a spaced pair for immersive surround sound recording, this microphone ensures a breathtakingly natural and immersive audio experience. Its transparent tonal characteristics make it equally effective for solo instrumental recordings, choirs, and ambient soundscapes.
Built for High-Resolution Studio Applications
The M 150 Tube is not just a reissue of the classic M 50—it is a complete reimagining of what a high-performance omnidirectional microphone can achieve. The included N 149A power supply ensures reliable operation, while the EA 170 shock mount minimizes unwanted vibrations. An 8-meter KT8 connecting cable and an aluminum case round out the package, providing everything needed for professional-grade recordings in any high-end studio environment.
