MKH 20 P 48

Microphones RF Symmetrical Capsule

Condenser Microphone

General Description

The omni-directional MKH 20 is usually used as a main microphone for orchestras and solo instruments, and picks up the natural acoustics of the room, though it does have a much wider range of applications as omni-directional microphones do not suffer from ‘proximity effect’.

Cable pictured is an accessory not supplied with the microphone

Features

Exceptionally flat frequency response, switchable for near and diffuse ￿field applications

High-frequency response can be accentuated by means of a pressure ￿build-up ring

Slightly increasing directivity at high frequencies to adjust tonal balance Exceptionally low inherent self-noise

Transformerless and fully floating balanced output

Switchable pre-attenuation

Black, anodised light metal body

￿Delivery includes: 1 MKH 20, 1 MZS 40 shock mount,

1 MZW 41 windshield, 1 pressure build-up ring
