Stand mounting/acceptance angles
The MZS 80 clamp with shock mount
(included) serves to fix the MKH 800
to a stand.
The proper acceptance angle is
indicated by the red LED.
The MZS 80 shock mount provides
better resistance to footfall.
Application tips
The MKH 800 is a versatile condenser microphone which is particularly well
suited to applications in the studio recording environment.
• Its problem-free reproduction of high sound pressure levels makes it the
perfect mic for soloist. It also works exceptionally well as a supporting
mic.
• Its low inherent noise makes the MKH 800 the ideal principal
microphone.
• If the microphone is set to the supercardioid pick-up pattern, the monitors
in the studio need not be switched off in order to prevent feedback.
• The MZW 80-1 pop shield effectively suppresses pop noise during close
miking. A special gauze pop shield is in preparation.
• The extended frequency response is in particular suitable for recordings
with a sampling rate of 96 kHz.
