Audix MB5050W 50'' Cardioid Overhead Condenser Microphone

50 Inch Cardioid Overhead Condenser Microphone for Stage and Worship Use

The Audix MB5050W MicroBoom System is a 50-inch overhead cardioid condenser microphone designed to deliver clean, intelligible sound capture in live performance, worship, theater, and broadcast environments. By combining a compact Micro Series condenser capsule with a lightweight boom and flexible gooseneck, this system allows precise overhead placement without cluttering the stage or distracting from visual sightlines.

Cardioid Pickup Pattern for Controlled Sound Capture

Equipped with the M1250B cardioid condenser capsule, the MB5050W focuses on the intended sound source while reducing pickup from surrounding noise. This directional pattern helps improve gain before feedback and keeps vocals, choirs, and acoustic instruments clear and natural, even in reflective rooms such as sanctuaries, auditoriums, and performance halls.

Condenser Capsule with Wide Frequency Response

The integrated condenser element provides the sensitivity needed to capture subtle vocal detail and musical nuance. With a wide and balanced frequency response, the MB5050W handles both spoken word and music reinforcement with consistency, making it suitable for choir overheads, ensemble miking, and stage dialogue where clarity is critical.

Lightweight Boom with Flexible Gooseneck Positioning

The 50-inch boom offers extended reach while remaining lightweight for easy handling and stable mounting. A flexible gooseneck section near the capsule allows quiet, precise adjustments, enabling sound engineers to fine-tune placement without mechanical noise or sagging during use. This design supports both horizontal and vertical orientation for a wide range of applications.

Clean Signal Path with Professional Connectivity

An internal cable runs through the boom to maintain a tidy appearance and reduce interference. The system terminates at the base with a mini-XLR connection and includes a 25-foot mini-XLR to standard XLR cable, allowing direct connection to mixers, audio interfaces, and phantom-powered preamps commonly used in professional sound systems.

Designed for Portable and Permanent Installations

The MB5050W mounts easily to standard microphone stands, making it suitable for touring productions as well as fixed installations. Its white finish blends seamlessly into worship spaces, stages, and broadcast environments where visual discretion is important. The streamlined design supports consistent performance without unnecessary complexity.
