High-resolution digital recording technology only makes sense when the microphone is up to par. The state-of the–art no-noise microphones of the Sennheiser MKH series definitely are. Leaving nothing out and adding nothing to the sound itself this series of truth-loving condenser mics is made for the requirements of high-class professional studio production indoors and outdoors.
Even more acute directivity patterns can be achieved with the acoustic interference principle which is utilised with the “shotgun” microphones. The interference method operates well for medium and high frequencies depending on the length of the interference tube and thus the length of the microphone. At low frequencies the interference effect decreases, and the directivity passes over to the super-cardioid characteristic. The MKH series offers shotgun microphones with different lengths for all recording applications.
Whether it's a feature film, a documentary, an outdoor shoot or a studio production, the MKH 8060 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.
