MKH 40 P 48
Microphones | RF Symmetrical Capsule
Condenser Microphone
General Description
The cardioid MKH 40 has a large number of applications, for example as
a main microphone, especially in lightly reverberant or acoustically less
perfect rooms, with instrumental groups or for speech applications. Its
wide-angled, neutral directional characteristics and high level of reverse
attenuation ensure an exceptionally balanced sound.
Features
Maximum front-to-back ratio
Exceptionally low inherent self-noise
Symmetrical transducer technology ensures extremely low distortion
Transformerless and fully floating balanced output
Switchable roll-off filter to compensate for proximity effects
at a distance of approx. 0.5 m
Switchable pre-attenuation
Black, anodised light metal bodv
Delivery includes: 1 MKH 40, 1 MZS 40 shock mount,
1 MZW 41 windshield
