Sennheiser MKH 8070 Long Shotgun Microphone

This long shotgun microphone was designed for picking up distant sources of sound in the best quality – an ideal choice for major broadcast and sporting events. Its extreme directivity and a pronounced lobar pick-up pattern deliver under tough sonic and climatic conditions and it ensures attenuation of off-axis sound without colouration. Like all mics of the 8000-family it can be easily combined with the MZD 8000 digital module, turning it into a full-fledged digital microphone.
