The Neumann MZ 49 A is an elastic-suspension shockmount for the M 49 V microphone. It features the popular yoke-mount design that has made the original M 49 particularly flexible in terms of positioning, and which together with the microphone forms an iconic unit. In this mount, the M 49 can be seen in countless session photos, including such seminal albums as Miles Davis' Kind of Blue and many other recordings from the legendary Columbia Studios in New York City.

Compared to the historic yoke mount, this new MZ 49 A version has been supplemented with elements for mechanical decoupling of the microphone as well as a cable holder to suppress cable-related structure-borne noise.
