The Soul of
Sound
the new fi lter module MZF 8000
Developed for the broadcast and fi lm industries, the MZF 8000 fi lter module
effectively blocks interference caused by infrasound – such as low-frequency
wind and handling noise – thus ensuring top-quality audio recordings with
the MKH 8020 (omni-directional), MKH 8040 (cardioid) and MKH 8050
(super-cardioid) RF condenser microphones.
The high degree of fl exibility provided by their modular design, the
weather-proof microphone principle and the natural, warm sound of the
microphone heads make the 8000 series unique – and the perfect choice
for use in studios, for concerts, broadcasts and in the fi lm industry.
Switchable roll-off fi lter (–3 dB at 160 Hz)
Fixed low-cut fi lter (–3 dB at 16 Hz)
Excellent suppression of handling noise
Extremely low inherent self-noise –
complex acoustic details are
reproduced exactly
High-quality –10 dB pad protects
against overmodulation
Active filter with fully floating, balanced,
low-impedance output
Allows for easy connection to subsequent
recording equipment and highly precise,
natural sound reproduction
Extremely compact design
Module can be used with remote accessories
