    Capture what other microphones can’t.

    The Sennheiser MKH 8018 is a stereo shotgun RF condenser microphone that delivers a rich sense of directionality and spatial realism. MKH 8018 features a remarkable push-pull transducer design. In combination with a low-tension diaphragm, this transducer design delivers remarkable sensitivity and wide frequency response, so you can capture sound as authentically as possible.

     

    Recording Flexibility via 3 Switchable Modes

    With its switchable modes — MS, XY-narrow, and XY-wide — MKH 8018 allows sound recordists remarkable flexibility. In MS mode, MKH 8018 provides independent mid and side signals. This allows the width of the stereo image to be adjusted in post-production or in the field with a matrix mixer. Or choose from two internally matrixed modes that provide traditional “left-right” stereo without the need for external mixers. To accommodate varying acoustic environments, the user may select between a “wide” pattern (LR-W) with increased ambient pickup, and a “narrow” pattern (LR-N) which offers more rejection and less ambiance.
