MKH 800 TWIN

Studio Condenser Microphone

1/2

The MKH 800 TWIN is a universal studio condenser microphone of exceptional quality. It includes a dual capsule consis-

ting of two symmetrical push-pull transducers with high linearity. This is a „side ﬁre“ microphone with the two cardioid

pick-up patterns of the transducer aligned back-to-back across the axis of the microphone. The signals of both trans-

ducers are not combined in the microphone in order to generate differing pick-up patterns but are available separately as

two channels at the microphone output. This allows the pick-up patterns of the MKH 800 TWIN to be remotely adjusted.

The signals can be combined in any desired way in the mixing console in order to create all pick-up patterns from om-

ni-directional to ﬁgure-8 with an inﬁnite number of intermediate stages. Based on the legendary MKH 800, this micropho-

ne opens up to a new dimension of studio recordings.
