At NAB, Sennheiser will launch the MKH 8030 RF condenser microphone with figure-of-eight pick-up pattern.
“The MKH 8030 will not only unlock M-S, double M-S, and Blumlein stereo recording options, but will also be a great choice wherever the highest attenuation of neighboring sound sources is required,” the company states, “be it a PA system whose sound needs to be eliminated or an adjacent instrument that must not be picked up.”
The sound signature of the MKH 8030 is part of the MKH 8000 family. The MKH 8030 shares the qualities of that line and its RF condenser principle with push-pull transducer.
These include high resistance to moisture, a floating, balanced output signal, extended low- and high-frequency response (30 to 50,000 Hz) and low inherent self-noise.
“These features will enable sound recordists and engineers to capture a sound event in its entirety and with all its intricate detail, with wide dynamics, extremely low distortion, and a frequency-independent polar pattern to avoid colouration.”
The MKH 8030 includes a foam windshield, mic clamp and two Rycote back-to-back clips to create mic pairs.
