Sennheiser MKH 800 TWIN Wired Electret Condenser Microphone - Black
The MKH 800 TWIN is a universal studio condenser microphone of exceptional quality. It includes a dual capsule consisting of two symmetrical push-pull transducers with high linearity. This is a "side fire" microphone with the two cardioid pick-up patterns of the transducer aligned back-to-back across the axis of the microphone. The signals of both transducers are not combined in the microphone in order to generate differing pick-up patterns but are available separately as two channels at the microphone output. This allows the pick-up patterns of the MKH 800 TWIN to be remotely adjusted. The signals can be combined in any desired way in the mixing console in order to create all pick-up patterns from omni-directional to figure-8 with an infinite number of intermediate stages. Based on the legendary MKH 800, this microphone opens up to a new dimension of studio recordings.

• Saving of the microphone signals in two channels also allows an unlimited range of mixes to be realised at a later date


• A wide range of mixes for stereo and surround are possible


• Stable pick-up patterns minimise sound distortion in the direct and diffuse field


• The pick-up patterns can be set and optimised under monitoring conditions


• The remote adjustability and the variable pick-up patterns make the MKH 800 TWIN a universal main microphone, soloist microphone or supporting microphone
