Sennheiser MKH 8018 Stereo Shotgun RF Condenser Microphone
Sennheiser MKH 8018 Stereo Shotgun RF Condenser Microphone.
The MKH 8018 is a stereo shotgun RF condenser microphone that delivers a rich sense of directionality and spatial realism.
It features three switchable stereo-modes — MS, XY-narrow, and XY-wide — along with a remarkable push-pull transducer design. In combination with a low-tension diaphragm, this transducer design delivers remarkable sensitivity and wide frequency response, so you can capture sound as authentically as possible.
- Stereo shotgun capsule configuration captures sound with an immersive sense of directionality and spatial realism
- Ideal mic choice for capturing film and video production with a sense of directionality; stereo soundscapes during screenplay scenes, sporting events, and spatially accurate environmental sounds, wildlife, and more
- Three switchable stereo-modes: MS, XY-narrow, and XY-wide
- Switchable low-cut filter (-3 dB at 70 Hz) reduces wind- and handling noise
- High-quality -10 dB pad protects against overdriving
- Ideal for camera mounting due to compact design
- Identical timbre as other 8000 series microphones for optimum aural compatibility
- Fully floating balanced output allows for non-critical connection technology with minimal distortion
- A low-tension diaphragm and symmetrical, acoustically open push-pull transducer design keep the sound flow as unrestricted and undistorted as possible
- Extended bass response enables capturing sound in its full frequency extent and gives more freedom for microphone positioning
- Part of a complete series of condenser microphones; MKH 8000 series includes all standard polar patterns that audio recording professionals need for various applications
- German-engineered with durable metal housing and rugged construction means superior reliability
- Moisture-resistant design ideal for use in humid, hot, and cold environments where other mics fail
- Optimal polar pattern avoids off-axis colorations, allows for coherent sound image, especially for larger sound sources
- Low self-noise for greater detail in audio; retains the softness of quiet sounds and increases dynamics
- Low nonlinear distortion avoids adding new frequency spectrum, thus maintaining sonic clarity
- Compact size means easy transport; it is visually unobtrusive in live shows or TV
- Nextel® non-reflecting paint ensures no reflection from stage lights, keeping the mic visually unobtrusive in live shows or TV
- Non-modular design; fixed XLR 5M-Out
