- Bi-directional figure-8 polar pattern captures sound equally from front and rear while efficiently rejecting sound from the side
- Highly symmetrical and frequency-independent pick-up pattern

- German-engineered with durable metal housing and rugged construction for superior reliability
- Moisture-resistant design ideal for use in humid, hot, and cold environments where other mics fail
- Low self-noise for greater detail in audio; retains the softness of quiet sounds, increases dynamics, and more
- Low non-linear distortion avoids adding new frequency spectrum thus keeping sonic clarity
- Compact size for easy transport; visually unobtrusive in live shows or TV
- Modular design allows for easy combination with various MKH 8000 accessories
- Nextel® non-reflecting paint ensures no reflection from stage lights, keeping mic visually unobtrusive in live shows or TV

Its unique design delivers superior sensitivity, wide frequency response, and an ideal polar pattern, so you can capture sound as authentically as possible.
