Sennheiser MKH 8040 Condenser Microphone Stereo Set Overview
Sennheiser MKH 8040 Condenser Microphone Stereo Set
Microphone set, each 2x MKHC 8040, MZX 8000, MZW 8000 and MZQ 8000 in transport case
Due to its cardioid pick-up pattern the MKH 8040 is perfectly suitable for a wide range of applications. It features a balanced frequency response throughout the whole pick-up pattern, as well as a significantly reduced pick-up of rear sound without depriving it of its natural timbre: Very valuable talents when used in rooms with poor acoustics or when disturbing sounds impinge mainly from the rear.
