Sennheiser MKH 8050

Properties:

The Sennheiser MKH 8050 is a premium HF condenser microphone with a supercardioid pickup pattern, specifically designed for demanding solo, instrument, and ensemble recordings. With its high directionality and uniform polar pattern, it is ideal for scenarios requiring precise source isolation and outstanding sound quality – such as recording grand pianos, string sections, woodwinds, or full orchestras. Its extended frequency response from 30 Hz to 50,000 Hz, combined with extremely low self-noise and minimal distortion, delivers an exceptionally clear, natural, and detailed sound. The special Nextel coating prevents unwanted reflections under camera lights, making the microphone ideal for use in film, broadcast, and live stage environments.
