Supercardioid condenser microphone

In a few words

Sennheiser MKH 50 supercardioid belongs to Sennheiser MKH xx series which, thanks to a unique condenser polarization process, provides very high output level (switchable -10 dB attenuator) and background noise reduction, especially useful on very low signals or with poor preamps. These mikes are not very climate sensitive (immune to cold, heat, humidity) and have proved their worth in extreme conditions, from Sahara to Himalaya. Transient response is particularly good, but can be awkward on boom: we strongly advise use of built-in low-cut filter when it is mounted on boom or stand.

Our recommendations:

Though it has a lower bass frequency response than MKH 40 cardioid mike, MKH 50 hypercardioid is wind and fast movement sensitive. A foam windscreen should be used indoors when mike is on a boom, and Rycote type windscreen is required outdoors. Its lower bass frequency response and its polar pattern, tighter than cardioid, make it very popular with TV films.
