Sennheiser MKH 50-P48 Supercardioid Condenser Microphone

The Sennheiser MKH 50-P48 Supercardioid Condenser Microphone is a precision-engineered tool for professional recording and sound reinforcement. Designed for spot miking, it excels in isolating a single sound source with exceptional lateral attenuation, delivering focused, crystal-clear audio with minimal off-axis coloration.

With its wide frequency response and high sensitivity, the MKH 50 captures nuanced detail from both vocals and instruments. It includes a low-frequency roll-off switch to reduce rumble and handling noise, and a pre-attenuation switch to manage high SPL sources with ease. This microphone operates on +48V phantom power and is ideal for critical applications where clarity and control are paramount.

The supercardioid pickup pattern provides enhanced rejection of ambient and diffuse-field sound compared to standard cardioid designs. Its frequency-independent directionality ensures consistent performance across the spectrum, making the MKH 50 a top choice for soloists, close-miking, and environments demanding superior feedback rejection.
