Sennheiser MKH8040 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Sennheiser MKH8040 Overview

For years the Sennheiser MKH line of microphones has been the standard for the most precise and accurate recording quality in film, theatre or studio applications. The MKH8000 series is a modular series that brings a warmth and versatility to the already very popular line. The MKH8040 is a Cardioid Microphone suitable for almost any application but is particularly suited to reduce pick-up of reverberation in a live room with poor acoustics.
