Overview

MKH 8090

High-quality wide cardioid microphone. Ideal as a main microphone when less acoustic impression of space is demanded or as a support microphone for capturing larger groups of instruments. Very natural sound.

The MKH 8090 is a high-end RF condenser microphone with a wide cardioid pick-up pattern. It is the ideal main microphone when less acoustic impression of space is demanded. As a support microphone it excels in capturing larger groups of instruments. The microphone operates on the RF principle that has been used by Sennheiser for more than 50 years, now 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.

Key Features:

  • Wide cardioid pick-up pattern
  • Wide frequency response 30 to 50.000 Hz
  • Very natural sound
  • Can be used as a digital microphone – with the MZD 8000 digital module
  • Exceptionally low inherent self-noise
  • Symmetrical transducer technology ensures extremely low distortion
  • Transformerless, fully floating balanced output
  • High output signal
  • Rugged metal housing with non-reflective Nextel® coating
  • Extremely weather-proof due to high-frequency circuit
  • Extensive range of accessories
  • Timbrally identical with the other 8000-series microphones for optimum aural compatibility

Extended bass response The low-tension diaphragm responds to low frequencies much better than conventional stiff diaphragms, allowing for a wide response range down to the lowest frequencies.
Extended treble range Up to 50 kHz, which captures sound in fine detail and with exact transient response.
High efficiency and low self-noise With conventional condenser mics that have stiff diaphragms, the mid frequencies need to be acoustically dampened to get a linearized frequency response, and efficiency is lost.
Clear consistent sound with no off-axis coloration With MKH 8000 mics, however, no such filters are needed, allowing for a coherent and natural sound image.
Low non-linear distortion avoids adding new frequency spectrum, thus maintaining sonic clarity.
