Sennheiser MKH 8020 Omnidirectional Instrument Microphone

Sennheiser MKH 8020 Omnidirectional Microphone – High-Fidelity Instrument Capture

Part of Sennheiser’s MKH Series of modular microphones, the MKH 8020 is a high-resolution omnidirectional condenser microphone designed for professional applications where superior fidelity is essential. Its omnidirectional polar pattern excels at capturing orchestral instruments, pianos, vocal ensembles, and other acoustic sources in well-treated recording environments. The MKH 8020 is ideal for Decca tree setups or Jecklin disc arrays, delivering stereo recordings with remarkable detail, depth, and spatial clarity.

With very low self-noise and a non-reflective Nextel coating, the microphone ensures pristine capture of your sound source, while its lack of proximity effect makes it suitable for close-miking applications. Powered by 48V phantom power, it comes complete with a microphone head, XLR module, mic clip, windshield, and aluminum transport case for professional use.
