The MKH 8050

The MKH 8050 is a high-end super-cardioid studio condenser

microphone from the modular MKH 8000 microphone series.

This series has the following features:

yExceptionally low inherent self-noise prevents masking of

filigree sound structures

ySymmetrical transducer technology ensures extremely low

distortion

yExtremely wide frequency response for an optimum

resolution of the finest details

yTransformerless and fully floating balanced output provides

for easy connection at minimal distortion

yHigh sensitivity ensures interference-free transmission with

a high signal voltage

yFrequency independent directional characteristics for

minimum colouration in the direct and diffuse field

yRugged metal housing with non-reflective Nextel coating,

making the microphone the ideal choice for in-vision use

yCompact design and small diameter allow the unobtrusive

positioning of the microphone, even close to instruments

yModular design provides for easy exchange of the

microphone heads and the use of specially-tailored

accessories to suit every application.
