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 direc-
tional characteristics are frequency-independent.
Features
j High rejection of lateral sounds
j Exceptionally low inherent self-noise
j Transformerless and fully floating balanced output
j Symmetrical transducer technology ensures extremely low distortion
j Switchable roll-off filter to compensate for proximity effects
at a distance of approx. 0.5 m
j Switchable pre-attenuation
j Black, anodised light metal body
j Delivery includes: 1 MKH 50, 1 MZS 40 shock mount,
1 MZW 41 windshield
