Sennheiser MKH50 Microphone
This super-cardioid microphone 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.
