Product Overview

Sennheiser's MKH800 Twin is a multi-pattern microphone without the pattern switches. To make various patterns, the MKH800 Twin is equipped with both front and back capsule outlets. Simply record both of these capsules into a DAW or recorder; during mix-down users can create the pattern they want with optimum control.

The MKH800 TWIN is a universal studio condenser microphone of exceptional quality. It includes a dual capsule consisting of two symmetrical push-pull transducers with high linearity. This is a "side fire" microphone with the two cardioid pick-up patterns of the transducer aligned back-to-back across the axis of the microphone.

The signals of both transducers are not combined in the microphone in order to generate differing pick-up patterns but are available separately as two channels at the microphone output. This allows the pick-up patterns of the MKH800 TWIN to be remotely adjusted. The signals can be combined in any desired way in the mixing console in order to create all pick-up patterns from omni-directional to figure-8 with an infinite number of intermediate stages. Based on the legendary MKH800, this microphone opens up to a new dimension of studio recordings.

The MKH800 Twin is ideal for film scoring, foley, symphonic recording, broadcast 5.1 surround studio, and field recording.
