Maximum control for stereo recordings with two independently controllable large diaphragm systems in one housing.
The Neumann USM 69 i is a one-point stereo microphone that combines uncompromising sound quality with flexible directional characteristics. Developed for professional applications, it enables precise MS, XY and Blumlein recordings - all in a single, robust housing. With two switchable large diaphragm capsules and the ability to rotate the upper system up to 270 degrees, this microphone is versatile - or for ensemble, solo instruments or speech.

In professional audio production, spatiality is a central element that significantly influences the listening experience. A one-point stereo microphone such as the USM 69 i ensures coherent, phase-stable stereo imaging - unlike two separate microphones that have to be laboriously positioned precisely.
The USM 69 i enables fast, flexible and precise stereo setups, saves valuable time in everyday studio work and reduces the effort involved in post-production. Especially with acoustic instruments, choirs or complex sound sources, it ensures a realistic, tangible sound stage without having to rely on additional signal processing.

The USM 69 i is ideal for:
Precise stereo reproduction keeps the sound source tangible and three-dimensional, even with complex mixes. And should one capsule system fail, the second system continues to operate - ideal for safety-critical recording situations.
