Sennheiser MK8

Sennheiser MK8

With its pair of gold-sputtered diaphragms, the Sennheiser MK 8 offers you the full flexibility of a classic condenser microphone. Three different cardioid patterns provide varying degrees of directional isolation, which is great if you're trying to block out instruments or room reflections. At either extreme, the MK 8 offers the open sound of its omnidirectional configuration and a figure 8 pattern. Any way you set it up, you'll appreciate the depth and warmth this traditional condenser microphone has to offer.

Did we mention you can use the MK 8 on just about anything? That includes super-loud sources, such as thunderous drums and dimed tube guitar amps. Part of what makes this possible is the 3-mode pad switch. Most of the time, you'll be okay leaving the pad switch set to off, but when things start to get too loud, the MK 8's -10dB and -20dB settings sure come in handy. So, whether you're recording spoken words or screaming trumpets, your MK 8 has you covered.
