Sennheiser MKH 50 Supercardioid Microphone Kit

The Sennheiser MKH 50 Supercardioid Microphone Kit from B&H is a powerful solution for professionals who need precise audio capture in studio, field, or live sound settings. Ideal for spot miking, this kit is designed to deliver outstanding clarity and focus while minimizing unwanted background noise, even in challenging acoustic environments.

At the heart of the kit is the Sennheiser MKH 50 P48, a premium condenser microphone built for accuracy and control. Its supercardioid polar pattern offers tight directionality, making it perfect for isolating a specific sound source while rejecting ambient room noise and off-axis interference. With a wide frequency response and high sensitivity, the MKH 50 captures vocals, instruments, and dialogue with stunning detail and natural tone. It includes a low-frequency roll-off switch to reduce rumble and handling noise, along with a pre-attenuation switch that helps manage loud transients when working close to powerful sources. Requiring 48V phantom power, it integrates easily into any professional setup and offers the versatility needed for both studio and location work.

To ensure clean recordings in outdoor or windy conditions, the kit includes the Rycote Super-Softie Windshield, which uses an advanced 3D-Tex fabric and open-cell foam for exceptional wind protection, particularly in the low-frequency range where wind noise is most disruptive. Its unique design makes it easy to clean and maintain, even in rough environments like ENG or field production, and it fits snugly over microphones with a diameter of 24 to 25mm and a front-slot position within 5cm.

The bundle also includes the Rycote InVision INV-HG mkIII suspension mount, a rugged, high-performance shockmount designed to reduce handling noise, vibrations, and mechanical rumble during use. Its patented Lyre system, made from virtually indestructible Hytrel, provides excellent acoustic isolation without sagging or wear over time. The cradle securely holds microphones measuring between 19 and 34mm in diameter and includes a heavy-duty swivel with a star knob for stable positioning. The integrated cable clamp helps manage excess slack, reducing noise from cable movement, while the mount’s threaded base fits standard microphone stands and boom poles using the included 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch adapters.

Whether you’re capturing detailed dialogue on a film set, isolating instruments in a complex mix, or recording in unpredictable outdoor environments, the Sennheiser MKH 50 Kit delivers the clarity, focus, and flexibility that professional audio engineers and creators rely on. This all-in-one package ensures your recordings are clean, consistent, and free from distractions, no matter where or how you work.
