MKH RF Microphones
Sennheiser‘s MKH Line has constantly set
new standards in broadcast and recording.
The microphones operate on the RF principle
which Sennheiser has used for more than
50 years and brought to the highest level of
perfection.
Among the many advantages of this
principle are an extremely low inherent self-
noise, the capability to handle high sound
pressure levels without distortion and a high
resistance to adverse climatic conditions.
Sennheiser has recently updated its classic
MKH Line with the new MKH 8060 short
gun microphone which incorporates the
advantages of the renowned MKH 416
and suits all the needs of a modern film
production
MKH 8060
Whether it‘s a feature film, documentary
or ENG, the new MKH 8060 will give you
the quality sound to match your exciting
pictures.
It’s very small dimensions are especially
surprising when it shows its strengths as
a professional gun microphone.
Its excellent directivity and improved off-
axis linearity ensure a clear and natural
sound recording, whether you are in the
studio or outdoors.
Its special design ensures attenuation of
off-axis sound without coloration.
Part of the flexible MKH 8000 series, just
add the MZD 8000 and it is a digital mic.
