Sennheiser MKH 8070 Long gun micFor long reach on location the Sennheiser 816 has been the mic of choice for many years. But Sennheiser's search for ever improving sound has delivered a modern long gun mic of the highest standard. The long shotgun microphone MKH 8070 was especially designed for picking up distant sound sources with the best quality possible in that situation. Its very natural sound makes it the ideal choice for major broadcast and sporting events. Featuring extreme directivity and a pronounced lobar pick-up pattern it will reliably capture that magic moment from a distance, even under the toughest sonic and climatic conditions. The MKH 8070's special design ensures attenuation of off-axis sound without colouration. Like all mics of the 8000-family it can be easily combined with the MZD 8000 digital module, turning it into a full-fledged digital microphone. The 8070 features the Sennheiser RF condenser system, making it less sensitive to damp and moisture on location. The 8070 comes in the standard MKH 8000 livery and long lasting Nextel finish.
