Sennheiser MKH8090 Wide Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The Sennheiser MKH8090 mic is
a high-end, RF condenser microphone with a wide cardioid pickup
pattern. It consists of a microphone head and XLR module, and is an
great main microphone for situations that demand a low level of acoustic
space be included in the recording.
It functions equally well as a support microphone when capturing larger
groups of instruments. The microphone operates on the RF principle,
delivering extremely low inherent self-noise, the ability to handle high
sound pressure levels without distortion, and a high resistance to
difficult climatic conditions, especially moisture.
As part of the 8000 series, the capsule is sonically identical to other
microphones in the series for sound consistency across the range. A
number of optional modules are available, and when used with the MZD
8000 digital module (sold separately), the microphone functions as a
digital microphone with all the benefits that such a configuration
brings.
