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.
The long shotgun microphone MKH 8070 was especially designed for picking up distant sources of sound in best quality. Its very natural sound makes it the ideal choice for major broadcast and sporting events. Featuring extreme directivity and a pronounced lobar pick-up pattern it will reliably capture that magic moment from a distance, even under the toughest sonic and climatic conditions. The MKH 8070's special design ensures attenuation of off-axis sound without coloration. Like all mics of the 8000-family it can be easily combined with the MZD 8000 digital module, turning it into a full-fledged digital microphone.
