Brief description
The MKH 800 is a versatile studio condenser microphone with five different
pick-up patterns. It incorporates a push-pull transducer featuring a high linearity.
Extremely low inherent noise - no masking effects; the recording gets an
extraordinary sense of space and depth
Excellent sensitivity for interference-free sound reproduction and high
signal strength. The inherent noise of following microphone amplifiers is
negligible.
The frequency range, which is extended to up to 50 kHz, improves the
resolution for complex acoustic details.
Stable directivity prevents coloration both in the near field and in the
diffuse field.
No negative acoustic effects caused by the housing or the sound inlet
basket.
The mic´s slender design and small dimensions make it visually
unobtrusive.
Connecting facilities/power supply
The MKH 800 is designed for 48 V phantom powering as per DIN 45596.
For power supply units and connecting cables please see "Accessories".
Note well:
The extension cable is to be put between the power supply unit and the
mixing console. The total length of the cable shall not exceed 200 m. For
longer cables the line capacitance affects the frequency response of the
microphone. Trebles are undesirably attenuated.
