The MKH 8070

The MKH 8070
The MKH 8070 is a gun microphone from the modular MKH 8000 microphone series
that convinces with its excellent directivity and especially natural sound. The
microphone's special design ensures that off-axis sound is attenuated without col-
orations. The MKH 8070 is especially suitable for distance recording situations, e.g.
in film and TV, both in the studio and outdoors.
The microphone operates on the RF principle that has been used by Sennheiser for
more than 50 years, now brought to highest level of perfection. Among the many
advantages of this principle are an extremely low inherent self-noise, the capa-
bility to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion and a high resistance
to adverse climatic conditions.
• Lobar pick-up pattern
• Very natural sound
• Off-axis sound is attenuated without colorations while a uniform sound
structure is maintained
• Exceptionally low inherent self-noise prevents masking of delicate sound
structures
• Symmetrical transducer technology ensures extremely low distortion
• Transformerless and fully floating balanced output: no coupling of spurious sig-
nals, minimal distortion
• High output signal voltage ensures interference-free signal paths
• Rugged metal housing with non-reflective Nextel coating
• Extremely weather-proof due to high-frequency circuit
• Can be used as an analog or – with the digital module – digital microphone
• Versatile use due to the extensive range of accessories available for the
MKH 8000 series, e.g.:
– MZD 8000 digital module
– MZF 8000 filter module
– Windshield systems
– Shock mounts
