INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE MKH 800 13
Brief description The MKH 800 is a versatile studio condenser microphone with five different pick-up patterns. It incorporates a push-pull transducer featuring a high linearity. • Extremely low inherent noise - no masking effects; the recording gets an extraordinary sense of space and depth • Excellent sensitivity for interference-free sound reproduction and high signal strength. The inherent noise of following microphone amplifiers is negligible.
Stand mounting/acceptance angles The MZS 80 clamp with shock mount (included) serves to fix the MKH 800 to a stand. The proper acceptance angle is indicated by the red LED. The MZS 80 shock mount provides better resistance to footfall. Application tips The MKH 800 is a versatile condenser microphone which is particularly well suited to applications in the studio recording environment. • Its problem-free reproduction of high sound pressure levels makes it the perfect mic for soloist.
Selection of pick-up patterns Switch C serves to set the mic to five different pick-up patterns: Omnidirectional C The push-pull transducer incorporated into the MKH 800 reduces the mic´s directivity to a minimum for high frequencies. The mic has a neutral response to direct and diffuse signals. This feature provides a sense of space and depth and allows large sound sources to be miked. For close-miking, sound reproduction does not become overbrilliant or shrill. No proximity effect.
Cardioid The cardioid pick-up pattern is acoustically neutral for large acceptance angles. Typical for the push-pull transducer is its high rear attenuation for low frequencies (typ. 30 dB), which allows signals from the rear to be effectively attenuated. The cardioid pick-up pattern is the most versatile characteristic. It is the ideal choice for speakers, soloists and smaller instrument groups.
Preattenuation / tone control Switch L for preattenuation If the output level of the MKH 800 is too high for the following mixing console, it can be reduced in two steps: - 6 dB or - 12 dB Switch H for treble emphasis L H B The treble emphasis can be adjusted in two steps. For 8 kHz the increase amounts to: + 3 dB or + 6 dB Switch B for bass attenuation The bass response can be attenuated in two steps.
Accessories MZW 80-1 Foam wind-shield functions as a close-miking and pop shield. KA 7 U XLR connecting cable Three-core cable with XLR/XLR connector. Length: 7.5 m. Usable as a connecting cable or an extension cable.
