Super-cardioid microphone. Perfect for recording soloists, large instruments like the grand piano but also orchestras. Balanced frequency response within the pick-up pattern. Absolute acoustical separation of instruments.

The super-cardioid MKH 8050 will give higher attenuation of off-axis sound from the side than its cardioid sister model. It is a good choice for recording soloists, where the requirements for lateral acoustic separation are higher.

Features:

-Super-cardioid pick-up pattern

-Modular design

-Wide frequency response 30 to 50.000 Hz

-Symmetrical transducer with 2 backplates providing extremely low distortion

-Extremely low inherent self-noise

-Accurate directional pattern

-Non reflective Nextel coating

-Provides optimum separation of instruments

Includes:

-MKHC 8050 microphone head (supercardioid, condenser)

-MZX 8000 XLR module

-MZW 8000 windscreen

-MZQ 8000 microphone clip

-Aluminum case
