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 directional characteristics are frequency-independent.
Super-cardioid studio directional microphone with switchable pre-attenuation and switchable roll-off filter. Frequency response 40 Hz - 20,000 Hz, sensitivity (free field, no load) 25 (8) mV/Pa ± 1dB at 1 kHz, nominal impedance 150 Ohm, min. terminating impedance 1 kOhm, equivalent noise level A-weighted 12 (18) dB, CIR-weighted 21 (27) dB, max. SPL 134 (142) dB at 1 kHz, phantom powering 48 ± 4 V, supply current 2 mA, dimensions Ø 25 x 153 mm, weight approx. 100 g. Values in parentheses with attenuator switched on (–10 dB).
