MKHRF 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 8070 long gun

microphone which combines the strengths

of the legendary MKH 816 with new

developments in sound characteristics.

MKH8070

The new MKH 8070 is in a league of its own.

Its excellent directivity and off-axis linearity

make it your ideal team member for major

broadcast and sporting events.

Due to its excellent directivity and

pronounced lobar pick-up pattern it will

reliably capture that magic moment from a

distance, offering a true and natural sound

– even under the toughest sonic and climatic

conditions.

The MKH 8070‘s 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.

Lobar pick-up pattern

Enhanced directivity

Very natural sound

Uncolored off-axis sound

Exceptionally low inherent self-noise
