MKH 8030

MKH 8030

The hunt for audio authenticity

Overview

Innovative open design for remarkably accurate sound

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.

A legacy you can trust

Based on the renowned dual-capsule technology of Sennheiser’s MKH 800 Twin microphone, the MKH 8000 series includes all the microphones audio professionals need for various recording applications, including the MKH 8020 omnidirectional, MKH 8030 figure-8, MKH 8090 wide cardioid, MKH 8040 cardioid, MKH 8050 super-cardioid, MKH 8060 super-cardioid/lobar, and MKH 8070 lobar. Without taking away from the unique clarity that MKH RF condenser microphones are famous for, the 8000 series has a natural, subtle warmth that benefits broadcast and field recording applications as well as musical and orchestral recordings. Voices will sound rich and detailed; piano, strings and wind instruments will have that special "character", while percussive instruments benefit from a fast attack and a dynamic, powerful reproduction.
