In which I review the unbeatable Sennheiser MKH-50 SuperCardioid Microphone!

Yep. The one used in hundreds — if not thousands — of movies that you’ve seen. This is the pinnacle of indoor booming!

I also compare it to the Sennheiser MKH-416, the Oktava MK-012, and the Line Audio CM4, and include MKH-50 mic emulation EQ tests for each!
