Sennheiser MKH 8050 SuperCardioid Condenser Microphone

Sennheiser's MKH8050 supercardioid microphone gives higher attenuation of off-axis sound from the side than its cardioid sister model. It is ideal for recording soloists, where the requirements for lateral acoustic separation are higher.

Perfect for recording soloists, large instruments like the grand piano, and also full orchestras. Well-balanced frequency response within the pick-up pattern. Absolute acoustical separation of instruments.
