Discover the Soul of Sound.
Sound with a Soul: Sennheiser’s MKH 8000 Series Microphones A Superb Synthesis of Sound Aesthetics and Engineering Perfection. Sennheiser has taken its sophisticated MKH series of radio-frequency condenser microphones one step further: the MKH 8020, MKH 8040, MKH 8050 and MKH 8090 fulfil the most exacting demands on sound quality and versatility.
The MKH 8000 series has been designed to capture the soul of sound, reproducing the music with an unprecedented warmth and transparency. Without taking away from the unique clarity that MKH symmetrical microphones are famous for, the 8000 series has a natural subtle warmth that has to be heard to be appreciated.
Features That Make a Difference Modular design: Extremely compact and elegant, the MKH 8000 series microphones have a diameter of just 19 mm and a length of only 74 mm. Yet, they can become even more unobtrusive. The microphones can be split into the actual microphone head, which contains all acoustic and electronic components, and the XLR module.
Microphones MKH 8020 The omni-directional MKH 8020 is ideal for recording large and small sound sources, for a ‘Decca Tree’ or for use in an OSS ‘Jecklin Disk’ array. As it does not suffer from a proximity effect, it is also a good choice for closemiking. If the acoustic ambience is right, this microphone will provide very impressive recordings. The extra octave at the bottom end makes the MKH 8020 perfect for recording pipe organs, grand piano and acoustic doublebass.
Broadcast Shotgun Microphones MKH 8060 Whether it’s a feature film, a documentary, an outdoor shoot or a studio production: the MKH 8060 short shotgun microphone will provide high quality sound to match your great pictures. Handily compact it shows its strengths as a professional shotgun microphone: The MKH 8060 delivers an absolute natural sound and outstanding off-axis linearity, attenuating sound coming from the side without coloration.
