High-fidelity Omnidirectional Mic for Demanding Applications
Part of Sennheiser’s MKH Series of modular high-resolution microphones, the Sennheiser MKH 8020 omnidirectional microphone is ideal for when superior fidelity is required. The omnidirectional polar pattern excels at capturing orchestral instruments, pianos, vocal ensembles, and other acoustic instruments in properly treated performance and recording spaces. Employ it as part of a Decca tree mic setup or in a Jecklin disc array for stereo recordings with stunning detail, depth, and dimension. With impressive low self-noise and a non-reflective Nextel coating, the MKH 8020 maintains absolute clarity of your sound source. And, because it exhibits no proximity effect due to its omnidirectional design, it also shines in close miking applications, highlighting expressive stringed-instrument performances, breath articulations on woodwinds and brass, and the pop and snap of fingerstyle guitar playing. Engineers at Sweetwater utilize the Sennheiser MKH 8020 in the most sonically demanding situations, and once you hear it, you’ll understand why!
