MKH 800 TWIN

The MKH 800 TWIN is a universal studio condenser

microphone of exceptional quality. It includes a dual

capsule consisting of two symmetrical push-pull trans-

ducers with high linearity. This is a “side fire” microphone

with the two cardioid pick-up patterns of the transducer

aligned back-to-back across the axis of the microphone.

The MKH 800 TWIN is based on the MKH 800. However, the

signals of both transducers are not combined in the

microphone in order to generate differing pick-up patterns

but are available separately as two channels at the

microphone output. This allows the pick-up patterns of the

MKH 800 TWIN to be remotely adjusted. The signals can be

combined in any desired way in the mixing console in order

to create all pick-up patterns from omni-directional to

figure-8 with an infinite number of intermediate stages.

y The remote adjustability and the variable pick-up

patterns make the MKH 800 TWIN a universal main

microphone, soloist microphone or supporting micro-

phone.

y The pick-up patterns can be set and optimised under

monitoring conditions. In other words, it is not necessary

to fix the pick-up patterns definitively before recording.

y A wide range of mixes for stereo and surround are

possible (including in parallel).

y The saving of the microphone signals in two channels

also allows an unlimited range of mixes to be realised at

a later date.

y The high sensitivity ensures interference-free signal

paths as a result of high signal levels. The inherent noise

of downstream microphone amplifiers is thus of minor

importance.

y The very low inherent noise prevents the masking of

filigree sound structures. The depth of the acoustic can

be heard more clearly too.

y The high linearity of the transducers minimises the

signal distortions and ensures the transparency of the

sound even at high sound levels.

y The frequency response extends to 50 kHz, thus

improving the resolution for complex acoustic details.

y Stable pick-up patterns minimise sound distortion in the

direct and diffuse field.

y Negative acoustic effects caused by the housing and the

sound inlet basket are minimised.

y The small, slim design and the optionally dark housing

design (Nextel) make it visually unobtrusive.
