Neumann M 150 Tube Set
The Neumann M 150 Tube Set is a reference-class omnidirectional condenser microphone that redefines the standard for orchestral, classical, and ambient recording. Inspired by the legendary Neumann M 50, the M 150 employs a titanium-diaphragm capsule with a pressure transducer design and a precision tube amplifier stage, delivering the same natural brilliance and spatial accuracy that made its predecessor a studio icon.
The M 150 combines the warmth of vacuum tube circuitry with Neumann’s modern transformerless output stage for ultra-low noise and extended frequency response. It provides extraordinary transparency, transient response, and depth, making it ideal for high-fidelity orchestral, choral, and room recording applications. The M 150 Tube Set includes a dedicated power supply, elastic suspension, and cable system, all housed in a durable aluminum transport case.
