Let me start by saying that no, I'm not out to get Sennheiser nor am I here to poke at the engineering, design or anything about the Sennheiser MKH-50 microphone at all. On the contrary... the MKH-50 is one of the most notable microphones used in the motion picture and television industry because of it's low self noise, reach, smooth supercardioid pattern and beautiful tone all for a very reasonable $1200.

The "secret flaw" I refer to in this video's title is indeed a fair, non-click-bait title that doesn't just apply to the MKH-50 but many MKH series microphones and potentially any other microphone with switches recessed into the microphone's casing. There's a simple solution to this issue and I share it in this video so please don't think I'm trashing the MKH-50. Believe me when I say you should strongly consider a MKH-50 if you want some of the best dialogue tracks you've ever heard. As a matter of fact, you should consider the entire MKH line of microphones. Below you'll find links to 5 MKH series microphones you can expect to be top notch regardless of what you're recording.

That said, the MKH-50 does indeed have a tragic flaw that is usually not even spoken amongst professionals therefore it is indeed a secret. In this video I'll expose this secret flaw present in one of the world's most popular film and television microphones.
