Sennheiser MKH 8030 Overview

Ideally suited for studio, orchestra, and field recording as well as broadcast applications, the Sennheiser MKH 8030 Figure-8 Condenser Microphone enables audio professionals to capture pristine, detailed sound over an extended frequency range in nearly any environment. The mic fits both the MZX 8000 XLR module (included) and the MZD 8000 digital module and is a great choice for capturing room tone, recording a duet, or wherever the highest attenuation of neighboring sound sources is required. The figure-8 pickup pattern lends itself nicely to various stereo recording configurations, including Mid/Side and Blumlein arrays. An MZW 8030 foam windshield and MZQ 8000 mic clip are included. There is also a pair of Rycote Back-to-Back microphone clips ideal for adding an MKH 8040/8050 microphone to the MKH 8030 for mid-side or stereo audio capture.

Robust Construction for Natural and Detailed Sound

  • Featuring a remarkable push-pull transducer and an innovative low-tension diaphragm, the unique design of the MKH 8030 delivers superior sensitivity, wide frequency response (30 Hz to 50 kHz), extremely low inherent self-noise, wide dynamics, extremely low distortion, and a frequency independent figure-8 polar pattern that avoids coloration, so you can capture sound as authentically as possible.
  • A rugged metal housing with non-reflective Nextel coating offers high resistance to moisture.
  • The sound signature of the MKH 8030 has been carefully engineered to blend in harmoniously with the sound of the existing MKH 8000 series microphones.

Modular Design

  • The modular design consists of the MKH 8030 figure-8 microphone and the MZX 8000 XLR preamp module with fully floated, balanced output signal.
  • The MKH 8030 is also compatible with the MZD 8000 digital module.

Figure-8 Polar Pattern

  • High rejection of lateral sounds.
  • Use for Mid/Side and Blumlein stereo arrays.
