Product description

The Sennheiser MKH 8050 is a super-cardioid condenser microphone designed for professional recording with superior off-axis sound rejection. Ideal for solo instrument recordings, it offers exceptional side-noise rejection and a broad frequency range of 30 Hz to 50,000 Hz. Perfect for applications in studio recording, wind instruments, and acoustic instruments.

The Sennheiser MKH 8050 is a high-end super-cardioid condenser microphone, engineered to capture sound with exceptional clarity and precision. With its super-cardioid directional characteristic, the MKH 8050 offers more effective off-axis sound rejection than the MKH 8040 cardioid model, making it an excellent choice for applications where maximum side-noise rejection is critical. This makes it perfect for solo instrument recordings, where the isolation of the primary sound source from surrounding noise is paramount.

Boasting a frequency range of 30 Hz to 50,000 Hz, the MKH 8050 captures a wide spectrum of sound, making it suitable for acoustic instruments, piano, wind instruments, vocal recordings, and even TV/film/radio production. The phantom-powered microphone operates at 48V ± 4V with a nominal impedance of 25 Ohms, delivering professional-level performance with a signal-to-noise ratio of 22 dB.

The MKH 8050 features an XLR-3-M connector for high-quality, balanced signal transmission and includes the MZX 8000 module for enhanced usability. Whether you are capturing vocals, spoken word, or instrumental music, the MKH 8050 ensures clear, precise audio recording with minimal interference from unwanted sounds.

Key Features:

  • Super-cardioid polar pattern for effective off-axis sound rejection
  • Wide frequency range: 30 Hz to 50,000 Hz, ideal for high-fidelity recordings
  • Low self-noise level (13 dB(A)) and high signal-to-noise ratio (22 dB)
  • High SPL handling with a maximum acoustic pressure of 142 dB SPL
  • Condenser sensor type for high-definition sound reproduction
  • Compact design: Ø 19 mm, length 74 mm (41 mm without XLR module)
