More Information

  • Stereo shotgun capsule configuration captures sound with an immersive sense of directionality and spatial realism
  • Ideal mic choice for capturing film and video production with a sense of directionality; stereo soundscapes during screenplay scenes, sporting events, and spatially accurate environmental sounds, wildlife, and more
  • Three switchable stereo-modes: MS, XY-narrow, and XY-wide
  • Switchable low-cut filter (-3 dB at 70 Hz) reduces wind- and handling noise
  • High-quality -10 dB pad protects against overdriving
  • Ideal for camera mounting due to compact design
  • Identical timbre as other 8000 series microphones for optimum aural compatibility
  • Fully floating balanced output allows for non-critical connection technology with minimal distortion
  • A low-tension diaphragm and symmetrical, acoustically open push-pull transducer design keep the sound flow as unrestricted and undistorted as possible
  • Extended bass response enables capturing sound in its full frequency extent and gives more freedom for microphone positioning
  • Part of a complete series of condenser microphones; MKH 8000 series includes all standard polar patterns that audio recording professionals need for various applications
  • German-engineered with durable metal housing and rugged construction means superior reliability
  • Moisture-resistant design ideal for use in humid, hot, and cold environments where other mics fail
  • Optimal polar pattern avoids off-axis colorations, allows for coherent sound image, especially for larger sound sources
  • Low self-noise for greater detail in audio; retains the softness of quiet sounds and increases dynamics
  • Low nonlinear distortion avoids adding new frequency spectrum, thus maintaining sonic clarity
  • Compact size means easy transport; it is visually unobtrusive in live shows or TV
  • Nextel non-reflecting paint ensures no reflection from stage lights, keeping the mic visually unobtrusive in live shows or TV
  • Non-modular design; fixed XLR 5M-Out
