Mordpol MP49 Mics (Neumann M49 Clones)
Those guys are still in a kind of prototype state – see the steel spacer instead of a proper capsule mount – but I’m already using them for sessions and they work flawlessly. Some quick infos for now:Transformer: Haufe T8974Tube: EC71 It’s a m49c inspired circuit (Oliver Archut’s alternative m49) and the layout and lasercut… Continue reading
