Capture directional audio in virtually any production environment using Sennheiser’s new MKH 8018 Stereo Shotgun Microphone. The microphone features a push-pull transducer design and low-tenson diaphragm for a 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and high sensitivity. Switchable pickup patterns allow for versatile recording spanning a multitude of applications from film dialog to soundscapes to wildlife recording.
Choose between three pickup patterns depending on your recording environment and production needs. Mid-Side Mode captures separate mid and side signals for control over your stereo width, which can be adjusted dynamically to suit the scene. XY-Narrow Mode provides a tighter stereo pickup with enhanced off-axis rejection for greater precision. XY-Wide Mode extends the stereo pickup, allowing for more ambient noise capture.
Additional features of the microphone include low nonlinear distortion for transparent audio recording. Low self-noise ensures even the most subtle of sounds can be recorded. An extended bass response allows for full-spectrum sound capture for more forgiving microphone positioning.
Included accessories with this release are the MZR 8000 Cold Shoe Mount and MZW 8018 Foam Windscreen, which also come in the box. The foam windscreen helps reduce distortion from wind and plosives, while the cold shoe mount allows you to secure the MKH 8018 mic to the top of your camera.
