An M49 can be seen throughout many photos from the recording sessions of Highway 61 Revisited, including this one of Dylan. Its exact use is unknown, but this photo suggests that it was used as a vocal mic. Neither Dylan's guitar amplifier (which is facing away from the microphone) or his bass (the cable of which appears to run away from Dylan's station, far from the mic) are level with the M49. Yet, the M49's boom stand is set up in such a way that Dylan would only need to look up to sing into the mic.
The following is an excerpt from pg. 322 of Bob Dylan: All the Songs (The Story Behind Every Track) by Philippe Margotin & Jean-Michel Guesdon.
Out of the nine songs, only "Like a Rolling Stone" was produced by Tom Wilson. Aside from the arrival of Roy Halee (future producer of Simon & Garfunkel) as a new sound engineer, methods and recording equipment were nearly identical to those used for the album Bringing It All Back Home. However, a Neumann M49 mic appears in various photographs, though it is difficult to say which producer is responsible for this change—presumably Tom Wilson.
