Neumann M269c Tube Microphone. Made in 1965. NN48H PSU

The M269c is a special modification of the acclaimed U67 made specifically for the German broadcasting. It uses an A 701 tube, instead of an EF86, used in the U67 model.

The K67 capsule was developed specifically for the U-67 microphone, released just two years before the M269. The M269 was only the second microphone to use the new capsule design.

The microphone has a special "F" mode, which a switch that allows to control more polar patterns remotely as continuously variable from Omni to Cardioid and Figure Eight with the knob on the PSU.

The microphone has a Caridoid only mode where the switch on the mic itself disconnects the rear diaphragm lowering the mic´s voltage requirement and make it 4dB more sensitive than the Cardioid control on the PSU. The sound character of those two caridoid modes varies slightly having the mic setting a bit more detailed.

This historic large-diaphragm, multi-pattern tube comes with an original NN48H serviced safe PSU, re-skinned K67 Capsule and AC701 Tube.
