Stand mounting/acceptance angles

The MZS 80 clamp with shock mount (included) serves to fix the MKH 800 to a stand.

The proper acceptance angle is indicated by the red LED.

The MZS 80 shock mount provides better resistance to footfall.

Application tips

The MKH 800 is a versatile condenser microphone which is particularly well suited to applications in the studio recording environment.

•Its problem-free reproduction of high sound pressure levels makes it the perfect mic for soloist. It also works exceptionally well as a supporting mic.

•Its low inherent noise makes the MKH 800 the ideal principal microphone.

•If the microphone is set to the supercardioid pick-up pattern, the monitors in the studio need not be switched off in order to prevent feedback.

•The MZW 80-1 pop shield effectively suppresses pop noise during close miking. A special gauze pop shield is in preparation.

•The extended frequency response is in particular suitable for recordings with a sampling rate of 96 kHz.
