Sennheiser MKH 50-P48 SuperCardioid Condenser Microphone

The super-cardioid MKH 50 offers a higher attenuation of diffuse-field 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.

The sophisticated MKH Series microphones incorporate Sennheiser technology into condenser mics of superlative quality. RF condenser microphones constitute a unique, sophisticated class of condenser microphones. They fulfil the very highest demands made on sound quality and versatility, and are renowned for their high quality, highly accurate sound reproduction, ruggedness, all-weather operation, wide frequency response and extremely low inherent self-noise. RF condenser microphones use a comparatively low RF voltage, generated by a low-noise oscillator.

Used by recording studios, film and television production companies, and broadcast professionals all over, the MKH line provides a flexible array of polar patterns and sizes, all optimized for totally transparent, "colorless" sound reproduction.
