The perfect M49 clone
The schematic is a full replica of the original microphone. We have adapted our K47 capsule for this model which has the same characteristics as the vintage K47/K49 model offered at the time, the most exigent will also be able to choose the optional M7 capsule for this mythical model!
After many years of research and measurements, we finally found a miniature replacement triode tube with excellent specifications, that is very close in sound and performance to the original AC701 tube!
All components are carefully matched and selected in our workshops. We attach great importance to the precision of our circuits to be as accurate as possible compared to the original vintage M49.

Build 2 in a row. Never build a mic before. The manual is great and with good concentration and being precise it took me about 3-4 hours.

We succeeded in getting an M49 a short time before the official release in order to give our objective opinion on the microphone. The M49 is a beautifully designed microphone, it fits very well in a professional studio setup, unfortunately we don't have the official 60's to do a comparative test, but I think it's very close to it to have great basics of sound realized with a real one.

I had the opportunity to test the Mic&Mod M49 clone just before its official release, in order to check if it corresponded well to a professional studio use, I must admit that I expected a rather basic sound, but not at all, we have a rather warm sound, we feel that the tube is very well-made, with the M7 capsule I already had a very good rendering on the bass, I have a use rather oriented on the voices, I must admit that I still prefer it to the U47 that I also had the opportunity to test.

J'avais déja commandé un clone U47 Mic&Mod avec une capsule K47 il y a quelques mois, je me suis dit que j'allais essayer le nouveau M49 avec la même capsule, je suis agréablement surpris de ce clone M49, on entend clairement une grande différence sur l'aspect sonore, le spectre de voix est beaucoup plus neutre encore que le U47, je pense que le tube triode utilisé est vraiment de très bonne facture, même si je n'ai jamais eu de Neumann M49 pour comparer, mais je suis vraiment sous le charme de ce microphone qui va faire embellir ma collection dans mon studio d'enregistrement !
