Schoeps MK-8-G Figure 8 Capsule, Gray

This capsule type is a true dipole (bidirectional) transducer, operating with a single diaphragm. Its main axis is at a right angle to the capsule, and is marked at 0° and 180° with a red and a black dot respectively.

Features:

• pure pressure-gradient transducer
• figure-8 pattern with near-ideal consistency across the frequency range
• side-addressed (pickup perpendicular to the microphone body)
• optimal for use in M/S and Blumlein stereo recording
