The MKH 8030 figure-8 RF condenser microphone is designed to cater to the needs of sound engineers, broadcasters, and field recordists. It offers flexibility in recording configurations, such as Mid-Side (stereo), close-miking (mono), and surround sound, all within its compact form factor and resistance in challenging weather conditions.
Sennheiser MKH 8030 Figure-8 Condenser Microphone
Perfect for studio sessions, orchestral recordings, fieldwork, and broadcast use, the Sennheiser MKH 8030 Figure-8 Condenser Microphone empowers audio professionals to capture stunningly clear sound across an extensive frequency range in almost any setting. This versatile mic is compatible with the MZX 8000 XLR module and the MZD 8000 digital module, making it an excellent choice for capturing ambient room tone, recording duets, or isolating sound sources with high attenuation.
Its figure-8 pickup pattern is ideal for various stereo recording techniques, including Mid/Side and Blumlein configurations. The package includes an MZW 8030 foam windshield and MZQ 8000 mic clip, as well as a pair of Rycote Back-to-Back microphone clips, perfect for pairing with the MKH 8040 or 8050 for sophisticated mid-side or stereo audio capture.
- Featuring a remarkable push-pull transducer and an innovative low-tension diaphragm, the unique design of the MKH 8030 delivers superior sensitivity, wide frequency response (30 Hz to 50 kHz), extremely low inherent self-noise, wide dynamics, extremely low distortion, and a frequency-independent figure-8 polar pattern that avoids colouration, so you can capture sound as authentically as possible.
- A rugged metal housing with non-reflective Nextel coating offers high resistance to moisture.
- The MKH 8030's sound signature has been carefully engineered to blend harmoniously with the sound of the existing MKH 8000 series microphones.
- The modular design consists of the MKH 8030 figure-8 microphone and the MZX 8000 XLR preamp module with a fully floated, balanced output signal.
- The MKH 8030 is also compatible with the MZD 8000 digital module.
- High rejection of lateral sounds.
- Use for Mid/Side and Blumlein stereo arrays.
