The Sennheiser MKH-8050 Supercardioid Microphone is a professional low-profile condenser for capturing vocals and instruments in recording and sound reinforcement applications. The modular design consists of the MKHC-8050 supercardioid capsule and the MZX-8000 XLR module / output stage.

The supercardioid capsule is most effective in minimizing feedback and off-axis audio. The symmetrical transducer with two back-plates yields extremely low distortion.
