Sennheiser MKH50 Microphone Overview: Super Cardioid Mic for Indoor Dialogue
Sennheiser MKH50 Super Cardioid Microphone: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/79497-REG/Sennheiser_MKH50_P48_MKH_50_Microphone.html/BI/19904/KBID/12941/kw/SEMKH50/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xSEMKH50
What are the best microphones for recording dialogue indoors? I’ve been using the Audio Technica AT4053b for a little over a year with very good results. But one of the microphones often used in productions with a decent sound budget is the Sennheiser MKH50 super cardioid condenser microphone. A few episodes ago we compared these two mics and found that there was no clear winner amongst viewers, at least when recording my voice.
But when would you want to move up to a microphone like the Sennheiser at $1,200 USd? Let’s take a closer look at this mic and see which circumstances and for which types of voices it works best.
