The MKH 8070
The MKH 8070 is a gun microphone from the modular MKH 8000 microphone series
that convinces with its excellent directivity and especially natural sound. The
microphone’s special design ensures that off-axis sound is attenuated without col-
orations. The MKH 8070 is especially suitable for distance recording situations, e.g.
in film and TV, both in the studio and outdoors.
The microphone operates on the RF principle that has been used by Sennheiser for
more than 50 years, now brought to highest level of perfection. Among the many
advantages of this principle are an extremely low inherent self-noise, the capa-
bility to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion and a high resistance
to adverse climatic conditions.
