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.
