General Description
The MKH 800 condenser microphone is the first microphone to fully uti-
lise the wider frequency response and dynamic range of the new high bit-
rate standard of advanced digital recording systems (for example SACD).
Featuring five switchable pick-up patterns, the MKH 800 is a superior
microphone for any recording application, offering high clarity and the
absolute minimum colouration.
