The M149 Tube is a variable dual-diaphragm microphone. The K49 capsule - well-known from the legendary U47 and M49 microphones - is followed by a tube functioning as an impedance converter. In contrast to earlier concepts - utilizing a transformer - the tube is complemented with a transformerless output circuit design. The M149 Tube can thus feed long microphone cables without any coloration.
Two slide switches are located below the large, acoustically very open headgrille. The switch at the front allows selection one of nine directional patterns.
The slide switch at the rear operates a seven-step high pass filter. It allows a very fine adjustment of the cut-off.
Shockmount comes as standard.
