Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A 50-inch carbon fiber boom with a mini condenser on the end, for overhead pickup where the mic needs to stay out of sight.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Choir and ensemble pickup from a ceiling or stand mount
  • Theater and lectern work where a visible mic is a problem
  • Long reach without a heavy stand crowding the stage

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Close-miking loud sources — this is a distance pickup tool
  • Handheld or roving vocal work; it mounts, it doesn't travel
  • Rigs with no phantom power at the input

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

50-inch carbon fiber rod

Long reach with very little flex or added weight, so a light hanger or stand holds it steady.

Detail 02

Mini-XLR at both ends

Not standard XLR — your run to the board has to start with mini-XLR at the boom.

Detail 03

Steel gooseneck at the capsule

Aims the mic and stays where you bend it instead of drifting over a long set.

Detail 04

0.20-inch rod diameter

Thin enough to read as a hairline against a dark backdrop at audience distance.

Detail 05

Non-reflective black finish

Kills stage-light glare, so the boom doesn't flash under spots or on camera.

Detail 06

Brass connectors

Contacts and threads survive repeated setup and teardown better than plastic ones.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Plan the mount point first — the boom needs something to hang or clamp on
  2. 02Phantom power has to be available at the input for the condenser capsule
  3. 03Check that your cable run handles mini-XLR at the boom end

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this come with a microphone?

Yes. The M1250B miniature condenser is part of the MB5050 system and sits at the end of the 50-inch boom.

02Does it need phantom power?

Yes. The capsule is a condenser, so the mixer or preamp input has to supply standard phantom power.

03How long is the boom exactly?

50 inches, or 1,270 mm, of carbon fiber rod about 0.20 inch across, with a steel gooseneck at the capsule end.

04Will it be visible on camera?

The rod is 0.20 inch across in non-reflective black, so it reads as a thin dark line rather than a bright glare.
