Features

• Color: Nickel

• The remote adjustability and the variable pick-up patterns make the MKH 800 TWIN a universal main microphone, soloist microphone or supporting microphone.

• The pick-up patterns can be set and optimised under monitoring conditions. In other words, it is not necessary to fix the pick-up patterns definitively before recording.

• A wide range of mixes for stereo and surround are possible (including in parallel).

• Saving of the microphone signals in two channels also allows an unlimited range of mixes to be realised at a later date.

• The high sensitivity ensures interference-free signal paths as a result of high signal levels. The inherent noise of downstream microphone amplifiers is thus of minor importance.

• Very low inherent noise prevents the masking of filigree sound structures. The depth of the acoustic can be heard more clearly too.

• High linearity of the transducers minimises the signal distortions and ensures the transparency of the sound even at high sound levels.

• The frequency response extends to 50 kHz, thus improving the resolution for complex acoustic details.

• Stable pick-up patterns minimise sound distortion in the direct and diffuse field.

• Negative acoustic effects caused by the housing and the sound inlet basket are minimised.

• The small, slim design and the optionally dark housing design (Nextel) make it visually unobtrusive.
