Sennheiser announce forthcoming MKH 8030 dynamic microphone

Sennheiser

The MKH 8030 has a frequency response of 30Hz to 50 kHz, while also being a very robust solution with very low self-noise.

Sennheiser and their MKH 8000 series has today expanded with the MKH 8030, a figure-of-eight dynamic microphone with a brilliant response making it perfectly suited for every application. Figure of eight microphones feature a practical design within them, capturing a source with reasonable isolation as well as some ambience behind, but with superior rejection at the sides.

The MKH 8030 itself allows users to mid-side and Blumlein recording techniques, with an extremely compact design that allows it to be positioned on busy stages, in busy studios, or on film sets, tucked out of sight.

Sennheiser’s Product Manager Professional, Kai Lange, said:

We are thrilled to be previewing the MKH 8030, a microphone that the MKH user community has been expecting for quite a few years. The extremely compact 8030 is ideal for field recording, sports and general broadcasting, theatres, orchestra recordings and studio music. During the past few months, field tests were successfully carried out, and we are now using the remaining months until the 8030 becomes available in Q2/2024 to implement some of the suggestions our field testers made.

The MKH 8030 has a frequency response of 30Hz to 50 kHz, while also being a very robust solution with very low self-noise. The MKH 8030 joins the MKH 8020 (omni-directional), MKH 8090 (wide cardioid), MKH 8040 (cardioid), MKH 8050 (super-cardioid), MKH 8060 (short shotgun, super-cardioid/lobar) and MKH 8070 (long shotgun, lobar) condenser microphones in the Sennheiser MKH 8000 Series.
