Overview
The MKH 50 microphone is known for its exceptional ability to reject lateral sounds and its low inherent self-noise. This is due to its transformerless and fully floating balanced output, as well as its symmetrical transducer technology which ensures extremely low distortion. It also features a switchable roll-off filter to compensate for proximity effects at a distance of approximately 0.5 m, and a switchable pre-attenuation option.
The super-cardioid MKH 50 is designed for use as a soloists or spot microphone, with a higher attenuation of diffuse-field and lateral sound than the cardioid microphone. Its directional characteristics are frequency-independent, making it a versatile option for various applications. With a frequency response of 40 Hz – 20,000 Hz and a sensitivity of 25 (8) mV/Pa ± 1dB at 1 kHz, this microphone offers high-quality sound capturing capabilities. It also has a black, anodised light metal body and weighs approximately 100 g.

About the Sennheiser MKH 50-P48 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.
