Sennheiser MKH 8030

The Sennheiser MKH 8030 is the quintessence of years of expertise and sets new standards in audio technology. As part of the highly esteemed MKH 8000 series, the MKH 8030 is specifically designed to meet the demands of professional sound technicians and engineers in every way.

At the heart of the microphone is the RF capacitor principle, which works in perfect harmony with the advantages of a Push-Pull transducer. This interplay not only enables high resistance to moisture, invaluable in demanding outdoor conditions, but also a fully floating, symmetrical output signal. The result is remarkable stability and reliability that is reflected in even the most complex sound events.

An extended frequency response in the lower and upper ranges ensures detailed sound reproduction, capturing the essence of the source sound perfectly. Paired with extremely low self-noise, the MKH 8030 stands out for its ability to capture a wide range of sounds without sacrificing clarity or detail. The balance between high dynamics and minimal distortion allows you to experience the fascination of the moment in full glory.

Not to be overlooked is the frequency-independent directional characteristic that effectively avoids coloration of sound. This means you always receive the purest and most natural sound quality, regardless of conditions or the complexity of the acoustic environment.

The MKH 8030 seamlessly fits into the extensive MKH 8000 series portfolio, offering a range of specialized microphones to meet various requirements. Whether you're looking for a wide cardioid, supercardioid, or even a variable directional characteristic microphone, the series provides a solution for every need.

The Sennheiser MKH 8030 is a comprehensive tool for those who don't want to compromise on sound quality. It sets new standards in audio technology and delivers unparalleled performance that meets even the highest professional demands.
