Sennheiser MKH 8018 Stereo Shotgun Microphone

The MKH 8018 is a stereo shotgun RF condenser microphone that delivers a rich sense of directionality and spatial realism.

It features three switchable stereo-modes — MS, XY-narrow, and XY-wide — along with 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 exibility. 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 eld 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.
