Sennheiser MKH 8090: Mastering Audio Capture
Introducing the Sennheiser MKH 8090 Compact Wide Cardioid Condenser Microphone, an integral part of the esteemed 8000 series, known for its precision and versatility in professional recording environments. This high-end RF condenser microphone is tailored for capturing a natural and open sound, making it an excellent main microphone for recording scenarios where a touch of the ambient acoustic space is desired.

Optimized Pickup for Pristine Sound
The MKH 8090 features a wide cardioid pickup pattern that excellently balances sound source isolation with ambient sound capture. This pattern is particularly effective in live recording sessions or studio settings where capturing the natural room sound is crucial. It provides a generous yet focused capture area, making it ideal for recording orchestras or ensemble groups where coverage of a broader area is necessary.

Advanced RF Condenser Technology
Operating on the RF principle, the MKH 8090 excels in delivering extremely low inherent self-noise and high resistance to adverse climatic conditions, particularly moisture. This makes it highly reliable for outdoor recordings and demanding environments, ensuring high fidelity recordings without distortion, even at high sound pressure levels.

Versatility Across Recording Situations
Whether used as a primary or support microphone, the MKH 8090 performs exceptionally well across a variety of recording applications. Its ability to function seamlessly with the MZD 8000 digital module (available separately) allows it to be transformed into a digital microphone, taking advantage of reduced noise and enhanced clarity that digital microphones offer.

Consistent Sound Across the Series
As part of Sennheiser’s 8000 series, the MKH 8090 is sonically identical to its counterparts, ensuring consistent audio quality and timbral matching when used in conjunction with other microphones from the series. This feature is invaluable for professionals seeking uniform sound characteristics across different miking setups.
