The figure-8 of the MKH series

• the MKH30 was after the MKH40 (cardioid) and the MKH20 (omni) the third model of a newly developed generation of RF microphones in the mid 80s. In this series followed the MKH50 (supercardioid), the two shotgun mics MKH60 and MKH70 and the switchable MKH80
• low distortion and exceptionally low inherent self-noise
• approximately linear frequency response results in a powerful bass (which can be alleviated with a bass roll-off) and rounded, smooth treble
• a slightly darker sound than e.g. Schoeps CMC6 + MK8
• for recording with MS stereo we offer also the MKH40 (the double mic clamp MZD30 is included)
• manufacturing period: since 1986

Favourite applications: MS stereo microphone technique (with MKH40). Also well usable as a spot microphone, where a high attenuation of lateral sound incidence is required. Due to its neutral sound characteristics it's especially used in classical productions
