Sanken CMS-50 M-S Stereo Microphone

Professional M-S Stereo Capture

The Sanken CMS-50 is a high-performance M-S (Mid-Side) stereo shotgun microphone engineered for professional field recording. By providing discrete Mid and Side component outputs, it allows sound engineers to compose a precise stereo signal with maximum flexibility during pre and post-processing.

Exceptional Audio Fidelity

Designed for demanding environments, the CMS-50 delivers high sound quality suitable for ambient recording in field sports, movie operas, and documentary filmmaking. The combination of a cardioid and figure-8 pattern ensures a smooth, coherent stereo image that captures the true essence of the acoustic environment.

This allows users to instantly adjust low-frequency characteristics to eliminate unwanted rumble or wind noise. Its compact shotgun design makes it an essential tool for location sound mixers seeking a balance between portability and professional-grade stereo imaging.
