Sennheiser MKH 800 P48 Datasheet
MKH 800 P 48
Microphones | RF Symmetrical Capsule
Condenser Microphone
General Description
The MKH 800 condenser microphone is the first microphone to fully utilise the wider frequency response and dynamic range of the new high bitrate standard of advanced digital recording systems (for example SACD).
Featuring five switchable pick-up patterns, the MKH 800 is a superior
microphone for any recording application, offering high clarity and the
absolute minimum colouration.
