From Our Research Team:

An Excellent Soloist Microphone!

The super-cardioid Sennhesier MKH 50 was designed primarily for use as a soloist's microphone or for any application that requires a high degree of side sound muting and lateral feedback rejection. As a super-cardioid, the MKH 50 offers a higher attenuation of diffusefield and lateral sound than Sennheiser's studio cardioid, the MKH 40. The MKH 50 can also compensate for proximity effects of approximately .5m using its switchable roll-off filter. On-board symmetrical transducer technology also ensures that the MKH 50 has etremely low inherent self-noise. Housed in its slim, black anodised metal body, the MKH 50 comes with a fitted shock mount and windshield.

Sennheiser MKH 50 Features:
  • High rejection of lateral sounds
  • Symmetrical transducer technology
  • Low inherent self-noise
  • Switchable roll-off filter to compensate for proximity effects
  • Switchable pre-attenuation
  • Black, anodised light metal body
  • Includes MZS 40 shock mount and MZW 41 windshield
  • Transformerless and fully floating balanced input


The MKH 50 is a great soloist microphone!
