Sennheiser - MKH 50 SUPER CARDIOID CONDENSER MIC

Description

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
