MKH 50 P 48

Microphones | RF Symmetrical Capsule

Condenser Microphone

General Description

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.

Cat. No. 003109
