Sennheiser MKH 50 Super Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Super-cardioid microphone designed for use as a soloist's or spot microphone for applications requiring a high degree of side-borne sound muting and feedback rejection. Frequency-independent directional characteristics.

The super-cardioid MKH 50 offers a higher attenuation of diffusefield and lateral sound than the cardioid microphone. It is principally designed for use as a soloist's or spot microphone for applications requiring a high degree of side-borne sound muting and feedback rejection. The directional characteristics are frequency-independent.

Features

* High rejection of lateral sounds

* Exceptionally low inherent self-noise

* Transformerless and fully floating balanced output

* Symmetrical transducer technology ensures extremely low distortion

* Switchable roll-off filter to compensate for proximity effects at a distance of approx. 0.5 m

* Switchable pre-attenuation

* Black, anodised light metal body
