MKH 8030

MKH 8030

The MKH 8030 figure-8 microphone allows recording professionals to capture pristine sound over an extended frequency range in nearly any environment. The MKH 8030 is ideal for M-S, double M-S, and Blumlein stereo recording options or wherever the highest attenuation of neighboring sound sources is required. Its unique design delivers superior sensitivity, wide frequency response, and an ideal polar pattern, so you can capture sound as authentically as possible.

• Bi-directional figure-8 polar pattern captures sound equally from front and rear while efficiently rejecting sound from the side
• Highly symmetrical and frequency-independent pick-up pattern
• Ideal choice for combining with a cardioid or super-cardioid mic to provide a MS-Stereo setting
• Low-tension diaphragm and symmetrical, acoustically open push-pull transducer design keeps the sound flow as unrestricted and undistorted as possible
• Extended bass response allows for capturing sound in its full frequency extent and gives more freedom for microphone positioning
• Extended treble range (up to 50 kHz) captures sound in fine detail with precise transient response
• German-engineered with durable metal housing and rugged construction for superior reliability
• Moisture-resistant design ideal for use in humid, hot, and cold environments where other mics fail
• Low self-noise for greater detail in audio; retains the softness of quiet sounds, increases dynamics, and more
• Low non-linear distortion avoids adding new frequency spectrum thus keeping sonic clarity
• Compact size for easy transport; visually unobtrusive in live shows or TV
• Modular design allows for easy combination with various MKH 8000 accessories
• Nextel® non-reflecting paint ensures no reflection from stage lights, keeping mic visually unobtrusive in live shows or TV
