50 Inch Overhead Condenser Microphone for Professional Audio Capture
The Audix MB5050 MicroBoom System is a 50-inch cardioid condenser microphone designed for clean, controlled overhead sound capture in houses of worship, theaters, concert venues, and live stage environments. This system allows engineers to place a microphone precisely where it is needed while keeping the stage visually unobtrusive and maintaining consistent audio quality.
Focused Cardioid Pickup for Clear and Controlled Sound
The included M1250B cardioid condenser capsule delivers a balanced pickup pattern that helps reduce unwanted ambient noise while preserving natural vocal and musical detail. This controlled directionality makes the MB5050 well suited for choir miking, ensemble reinforcement, acoustic instruments, and spoken word applications where clarity and feedback control matter.
High-Sensitivity Condenser Capsule with Natural Response
The condenser element offers a wide frequency response that captures articulation and tonal nuance accurately. Speech remains intelligible, and musical sources retain their natural character, making the microphone suitable for sermons, presentations, choral performances, and broadcast audio where consistent sound reproduction is required.
Lightweight Carbon Fiber Boom with Flexible Positioning
The rigid carbon fiber boom provides extended reach without unnecessary weight, making setup and adjustment easy. A flexible gooseneck section near the capsule allows for quiet, precise positioning, ensuring the microphone stays exactly where it is placed during performances or services.
Shielded Internal Cabling for Reliable Signal Integrity
An internally shielded cable runs through the boom to help minimize RF interference and maintain a clean visual profile. The base of the microphone terminates in a mini-XLR connector, providing a secure connection point that supports long cable runs without signal degradation.
Simple Integration into Live and Installed Audio Systems
The MB5050 mounts to standard microphone stands and includes a 25-foot mini-XLR to XLR cable for direct connection to mixers and phantom-powered microphone inputs. Its versatile design supports both permanent installations and portable setups, making it a dependable choice for touring systems and fixed venues alike.
