Neumann M 149 Tube Microphone Set
The M 149 Tube* is a variable dual-diaphragm microphone. The K 49 capsule – well-known from the legendary U 47 and M 49 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 M 149 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 frequency.There are nine polar patterns to choose from, making this microphone an ideal choice for a wide range of recording situations. As its ancestors, the M 149 Tube is a superb vocalist microphone, not only because of the capsule, but also due to its modern circuitry, characterized by extremely low noise level.

I use this TLM49 to record vocals. I have used entry level condensor mics up until now and thought I might take the plunge with a high end purchase. The difference is very apparent. A lot smoother and pleasant to listen to. It sits in the mix very nicely and the track comes together effortlessly. I haven't tried other high end mics in the same price range or higher but will not be going back to buying entry level or mid price gear.

Theres no choice better than M-149 for vocal recording, specially when you use it with an AMS NEVE 1073 mic-pre, it sounds amazing and nothing can compare with it.
