Precision Overhead Microphone System for Choirs, Orchestras, and Theatrical Productions

The Audix MB5050HC is a professional-grade overhead microphone solution, combining the lightweight and durable MicroBoom carbon fiber boom arm with the M1250BHC hypercardioid condenser microphone capsule. With its 50-inch length, the MicroBoom offers extended reach and precise mic placement, ideal for capturing choirs, ensembles, theater stages, or worship services with crystal-clear audio and minimal visual footprint.
