Sennheiser MKH 50 P48 U

The super-cardioid Sennheiser MKH 50 microphone 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.

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

Delivery Includes

• 1 MKH 50,

• 1 MZS 40 shock mount,

• 1 MZW 41 windshield
