The MKH 8060
The MKH 8060
The MKH 8060 is a short gun microphone from the modular MKH 8000 microphone
series that convinces with its excellent directivity and especially natural sound. The
microphone’s special design ensures that off-axis sound is attenuated without
colorations. The MKH 8060 is especially suitable for voice recording applications in
film and TV, both in the studio and outdoors.
The microphone operates on the RF principle that has been used by Sennheiser for
more than 50 years, now brought to the highest level of perfection. Among the
many advantages of this principle are an extremely low inherent self-noise, the
capability to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion and a high
resistance to adverse climatic conditions.
