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.
