Brief description

The MKH 800 is a versatile studio condenser microphone with five different pick-up patterns. It incorporates a push-pull transducer featuring a high linearity.

•Extremely low inherent noise - no masking effects; the recording gets an extraordinary sense of space and depth

•Excellent sensitivity for interference-free sound reproduction and high signal strength. The inherent noise of following microphone amplifiers is negligible.

•The frequency range, which is extended to up to 50 kHz, improves the resolution for complex acoustic details.

•Stable directivity prevents coloration both in the near field and in the diffuse field.

•No negative acoustic effects caused by the housing or the sound inlet basket.

•The mic´s slender design and small dimensions make it visually unobtrusive.

Connecting facilities/power supply

The MKH 800 is designed for 48 V phantom powering as per DIN 45596. For power supply units and connecting cables please see "Accessories".

Note well:

The extension cable is to be put between the power supply unit and the mixing console. The total length of the cable shall not exceed 200 m. For longer cables the line capacitance affects the frequency response of the microphone. Trebles are undesirably attenuated.
