In this article, LondonJazzCollecter states that the M49 was the only mic Davis used for himself on Kind of Blue:

The M49 was a favourite of recording studios in the 1950s and 60s and was the standard microphone used on smooth pop and soulful jazz recordings during the era. (...) Miles Davis was said to have exclusively used this microphone on his best-selling album: "Kind of Blue".
