Sennheiser MKH 8070 Moisture-Resistant Long Shotgun Microphone

Introducing the Sennheiser MKH 8070 Long Shotgun Microphone
The Sennheiser MKH 8070 is a specialized moisture-resistant long shotgun microphone, crafted for capturing high-quality audio in challenging outdoor settings such as broadcast production and sporting events. Its 18-inch length enhances its ability to focus on sound sources from a distance, ensuring that your recordings are crisp and clear with extreme directivity and minimal background noise. This microphone's ultrahigh sensitivity and low self-noise make it a powerhouse for professional audio capture, providing sound that's immediately ready for production.

Tailored for Harsh Environmental Conditions
Built to perform reliably in adverse conditions, the MKH 8070 features a robust RF circuit design that resists moisture effectively. Whether facing humidity or condensation, this microphone remains unaffected, ensuring that high-quality audio capture continues without interruption, making it an essential tool for outdoor professional recording.

Unmatched Sound Quality Across the Spectrum
The MKH 8070 shares the esteemed sonic characteristics of Sennheiser's 8000 series, delivering a sound that's both natural and detailed. With a frequency response of 45 Hz to 20 kHz, the microphone offers a subtle emphasis above 2 kHz to enhance clarity and intelligibility while the natural bass roll-off helps manage low-frequency noise. The extremely low self-noise of 8 dBA means that recordings are free from background hiss, providing a clean audio track ready for use in high-level productions.

Ready for Digital Upgrades
Enhancing its versatility, the MKH 8070 can be upgraded to a digital microphone with the optional MZD 8000 digital module, which outputs AES42 signal for high-resolution digital recording up to 24-bit / 192 kHz. This capability allows for remote control over DSP functions, such as low-cut filtering and attenuation, further refining its utility in professional settings.

Optimal Mounting and Handling
The microphone's design includes a nonreflective Nextel coating on its metal body, preventing any visual reflections that might distract during video recordings. It can be easily mounted on a stand or boompole with the provided mic clip or used with the Sennheiser MZS 20-1 for enhanced stability and shock absorption, ensuring that the audio quality is not compromised by physical vibrations.
