Sennheiser MK 8 Dual-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone with 5 Polar Patterns

The Sennheiser MK8 is the microphone for people who pour all of their passion into their audio projects. The MK 8 offers sophisticated options to sign off your sound with your own personal handwriting. The dual-diaphragm condenser microphone delivers warm and precise sound reproduction. Its five independent polar patterns allow for a multitude of recording applications and sound design options.

No matter which mixing desk or recording device is used, the MK8 matches the input sensitivity with a 3-step attenuator. Two adjustable filters compensate for the proximity effect as well as low frequency rumble or structure borne noise.

The MK 8 has dual one-inch diaphragms precisely spattered with 24-carat gold. The shock-mounted capsule is accommodated within a sturdy metal housing.
