Sennheiser MKH 8090 Condenser microphone instrument
High-end condenser microphone with a high cardioid pick-up pattern and frequency response from 30 to 50,000 Hz.
MKH 8090 HIGH-QUALITY WIDE CARDIOID MICROPHONE
The SENNHEISER MKH 8090 condenser microphone is high-end with a wide cardioid pick-up pattern. It is the ideal main microphone when less acoustic impression of space is required.
As a supporting microphone, it stands out for picking up large groups of instruments. The microphone operates on the radio frequency principle that Sennheiser has been using for over 50 years and is now brought to the highest level of perfection.
Among the many advantages of this principle are the extremely low inherent self-noise, the ability to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion, and high resistance to adverse weather conditions.
