Sennheiser MKH 8018 Stereo Shotgun RF Condenser Microphone

Sennheiser MKH 8018 Stereo Shotgun RF Microphone – Precision Stereo Capture

The Sennheiser MKH 8018 is a high-end stereo shotgun RF condenser microphone engineered for professional film, broadcast, and field recording applications. Its push-pull transducer paired with a low-tension diaphragm delivers exceptional sensitivity and precise directionality, capturing rich audio across a wide frequency range with minimal self-noise.

With three switchable stereo modes — M-S, X/Y-narrow, and X/Y-wide — the MKH 8018 adapts to a variety of recording scenarios, from lively dialogue to ambient soundscapes. A switchable low-cut filter at 70 Hz reduces wind and handling noise, while the -10dB pad protects against clipping in loud environments. Its compact design allows easy mounting to cameras, and the microphone’s timbre is carefully matched to other MKH 8000 series models for seamless integration in multi-microphone setups.
