Modular RF Condenser Microphone (cardioid)

The Sennheiser cardioid MKH-8040 is suitable for almost any application. The MKH8040 considerably reduces pick-up of a reverberant room. This is very helpful in rooms with poor acoustics or when disturbing sounds impinge mainly from the rear.

→ Modular design
→ Wide frequency response 30 to 50.000 Hz
→ Symmetrical transducer with 2 backplates providing extremly low distortion
→ Extremly low inherent self-noise
→ Accurate directional pattern
→ Non reflective Nextel coating
→ Ideal as a spot microphone and for surround recordings
→ Also available in stereo pairs
