Sennheiser MKH8030 Figure-8 RF Condenser Microphone

Professional recording demands precision, and the MKH 8030 figure-8 microphone stands as Sennheiser's answer to capturing flawless audio across extended frequency ranges in challenging environments. This specialised microphone excels in M-S, double M-S, and Blumlein stereo recording configurations, making it the go-to choice when maximum attenuation of neighbouring sound sources is critical for your recording project.

At the heart of the MKH 8030 lies Sennheiser's innovative symmetrical, acoustically open, push-pull transducer design from their acclaimed MKH 8000 series. This engineering approach maintains unrestricted sound flow whilst minimising distortion, resulting in a precise polar pattern with exceptional off-axis coloration control. The low-tension diaphragm works in harmony with this design to provide outstanding sensitivity and comprehensive frequency response, ensuring your recordings capture sound with remarkable authenticity.

Built to Sennheiser's exacting standards, the MKH 8030 features robust metal housing and rugged construction that makes it perfectly suited for demanding outdoor applications including sports broadcasting and remote wilderness recording sessions. The microphone's unique RF current flow system naturally prevents moisture accumulation at the capsule, whilst the capsule's low impedance compared to moisture provides inherent durability and resistance to humid, hot, and cold conditions - giving recording professionals the confidence to work in virtually any environment.
