Overview
The cardioid MKH 8040 is suitable for almost any application. It considerably reduces pick-up of a reverberant room. This is very helpful in rooms with poor acoustics or when disturbing sounds impinge mainly from the rear.
Features
- Cardioid pick-up pattern
- Modular design
- Wide frequency response 30 to 50.000 Hz
- Symmetrical transducer with 2 backplates providing extremly low distortion
- Extremly low inherent self-noise
- Aaccurate directional pattern
- Non reflective Nextel coating
- Ideal as a spot microphone and for surround recordings
- Also available in stereo pairs
