Sennheiser MKH 8090 Wide Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The Sennheiser MKH 8090 Wide Cardioid Condenser Microphone captures audio with breathtaking realism. Still, remaining virtually invisible to challenging acoustic spaces. Its wide cardioid pattern offers the perfect balance between focus and ambience, making it equally brilliant as a main microphone or as a supportive spot mic for ensembles.
Pristine Audio from 30 Hz to 50 kHz
Leveraging Sennheiser’s renowned RF condenser technology, the MKH 8090 delivers an extended frequency response that reaches well beyond the limits of human hearing. This ensures every nuance—whether sub-bass fundamentals or shimmering overtones—is reproduced with uncompromising accuracy.
RF Reliability in Any Climate
Unlike conventional condensers, the microphone’s RF principle drastically reduces self-noise to just 13 dB(A), tolerates up to 142 dB SPL without distortion, and shrugs off humidity, temperature shifts, and electrostatic interference. A rugged, non-reflective Nextel-coated housing further protects the capsule while eliminating stage glare.
Future-Proof Integration
A transformerless, fully floating balanced output supplies a robust signal path, while optional pairing with the MZD 8000 digital module equips the MKH 8090 for native AES42 workflows. Its timbral consistency with the entire 8000-series guarantees seamless multi-mic arrays and immersive recordings.
