The MKH 8030 figure-8 microphone allows recording professionals to capture pristine sound over an extended frequency range in nearly any environment. It is ideal for M-S, double M-S, and Blumlein stereo recording options or wherever the highest attenuation of neighboring sound sources is required. This could be a PA system whose sound needs to be eliminated or an adjacent instrument that must not be picked up. Plus, the sound signature of the MKH 8030 has been carefully engineered to blend in harmoniously with the sound of the existing MKH 8000 series microphones.
Like all Sennheiser MKH 8000 series microphones, the MKH 8030 features a symmetrical, acoustically open, push-pull transducer. This remarkable design keeps the sound flow as unrestricted and undistorted as possible, providing a precise polar pattern with minimal off-axis coloration. In combination with a low-tension diaphragm, this design delivers remarkable sensitivity and wide frequency response, so you can capture sound as authentically as possible.
Key Features:
- 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
