MKH 8030

The MKH 8030 figure-8 microphone allows recording professionals to capture pristine sound over an extended frequency range in nearly any environment. The MKH 8030 is ideal for M-S, double M-S, and Blumlein stereo recording options or wherever the highest attenuation of neighboring sound sources is required.

Specifications:

• Bi-directional figure-8 polar pattern captures sound equally from front and rear while efficiently rejecting sound from the side
• Highly symmetrical and frequency-independent pick-up pattern
• Ideal choice for combining with a cardioid or super-cardioid mic to provide a MS-Stereo setting
• Low-tension diaphragm and symmetrical, acoustically open push-pull transducer design keeps the sound flow as unrestricted and undistorted as possible
• Extended bass response allows for capturing sound in its full frequency extent and gives more freedom for microphone positioning
• Extended treble range (up to 50 kHz) captures sound in fine detail with precise transient response
• German-engineered with durable metal housing and rugged construction for superior reliability
• Moisture-resistant design ideal for use in humid, hot, and cold environments where other mics fail
• Low self-noise for greater detail in audio; retains the softness of quiet sounds, increases dynamics, and more
• Low non-linear distortion avoids adding new frequency spectrum thus keeping sonic clarity
• Compact size for easy transport; visually unobtrusive in live shows or TV
• Modular design allows for easy combination with various MKH 8000 accessories
• Nextel® non-reflecting paint ensures no reflection from stage lights, keeping mic visually unobtrusive in live shows or TV
