General Description
The MKH 8070 long shotgun microphone is ideal for broadcast and
sporting applications requiring natural sound and high directivity
to take viewers inside the action. The MKH 8070 captures true and
natural sound at great distances with a pronounced lobar pattern
and a long interference tube that suppresses off-axis sound without
coloration. With its symmetrical RF condenser design, the MKH 8070
performs even under the toughest sonic and environmental
conditions. The MKH 8070 is Sennheiser’s first long shotgun
to interface directly into digital systems with the MZD 8000
digital module.
