MZD 8000
Mikrophone |
General Description
The fantastic sound of the MKH 8000 series can now be converted to
digital directly at the microphone head, ensuring a natural sound without
any loss of quality. The compact digital module is simply screwed onto
the microphone head in place of the XLR module, turning the audio signal
of the MKH 8020 (omni-directional), MKH 8040 (cardioid) and MKH 8050
(super-cardioid) into a digital one. The new digital module ensures that
the warm, natural, yet fantastically clear and powerful sound of the MKH
8000 series is maintained in full quality along the entire signal chain. In
contrast to conventional digitization, which uses a separate analogue/
digital converter at some stage in the chain, the Sennheiser MZD 8000
digital module eliminates cable losses and, most importantly, features a
converter and surrounding circuitry that have been optimally matched to
the microphone.
Like all signal-carrying components in the 8000 series, the module is desi-
gned with two channels and converts the microphone signal according to
the AES 42 standard. The microphones can be synchronized by any digital
system. In addition to the A/D converter (24-bit, sampling rate up to 192
kHz), the digital module contains a highly integrated DSP unit. With the
aid of dedicated PC control software and an AES 42 interface, the micro-
phone allows settings such as the low-cut filter, attenuation and limiter
to be remote-controlled. The required phantom power for microphones is
provided by an AES 42 interface, e.g. Neumann's DMI.
