The Sennheiser MKH8060 moisture-resistant short shotgun microphone can help you achieve superb audio capture in demanding conditions for your next professional film, TV, or location recording. Mix-ready sound quality is provided by its sharp directivity, low noise, and high output. Plus, there are no controls to worry about; the MKH 8060 delivers the reliability you need for high-pressure gigs.
The microphone exhibits a supercardioid polar pattern at low to midrange frequencies and transitions to a lobar pattern in high frequencies, providing uniform attenuation of 10 to 20 dB from 125 Hz to 1 kHz between 90° and 120° off axis. The rejection pattern for high frequencies is also consistent, further contributing to the mic's transparent, undistorted off-axis tone. Your dialogue, foley, and sound effects can be recorded with full dynamics and clarity, thanks to the MKH 8060's wide frequency response, transformerless output, and high SPL handling.
Performs in Adverse Environmental Conditions
When
your work takes you outdoors, you're bound to encounter humidity and
condensation, which can cause many mics to fail. The MKH 8060's RF
circuit design makes it highly immune to moisture, allowing you to
reliably capture high-quality audio in normal and adverse environmental
conditions.
Professional Sound Quality
Offering
the same sonic signature as Sennheiser's other 8000-Series microphones,
the MKH 8060 was engineered with the experienced professional in mind.
Its 50 Hz to 25 kHz frequency response incorporates a gentle rise above 3
kHz to increase intelligibility and a natural bass roll-off to mitigate
rumble. Its low self-noise of 11 dBA and ultrahigh sensitivity of -24
dB enable studio-worthy signal purity without requiring noise reduction
and gain boosting in postproduction.
Phantom Powered
The
MKH 8060 boasts a transformerless and fully floating balanced output
for optimal signal integrity. Thanks to its 3-pin XLR output and
compliance with 44 to 52 VDC phantom power, the MKH 8060 is compatible
with a variety of handheld audio recorders, field recorders, and mixer
adapters as well as built-in preamps on many camcorders and cinema
cameras.
Digital Compatibility
When
used with the optional MZD 8000 digital module, the MKH 8060 becomes a
digital microphone that outputs AES42 signal at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz
resolution and allows remote control of DSP functions such as low-cut
filtering and attenuation.
Ideal for Boompole or Camera Mounting
The
MKH 8060's metal body features a nonreflective Nextel coating to
prevent distracting visual reflections. Mount the MKH 8060 directly on a
stand or boompole using the supplied mic clip, or attach it to a camera
with a shoe shockmount such as the Smallrig 1859. Alternatively, place
the MKH 8060 in the separately available Sennheiser MZS 20-1 combination
shockmount, pistol grip, and stand adapter to prevent the transfer of
vibrations to the microphone.
Windscreen Minimizes Wind Noise
The
MKH 8060 has a foam windscreen to reduce unwanted wind noise from
breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners. For maximum reduction of
wind noise in indoor or outdoor environments, consider the Sennheiser
MZH 20-1 furry windshield (available separately).
