Redefining flexibility for stereo recordings
With the Sennheiser MKH 8018 , Sennheiser presents an innovative stereo shotgun microphone from the MKH 8000 series . It impresses with three versatile switchable stereo modes : MS stereo, XY stereo (narrow) and XY stereo (wide). This makes the microphone ideal for a wide variety of recording situations - from film sets and sports broadcasts to impressive nature recordings .
Outstanding sound quality and directivity
The MKH 8018 uses symmetrical , acoustically open push-pull transducers and low-stress , free-swinging diaphragms . This technology enables an extraordinarily natural and undistorted sound recording , with full detail and a wide transmission range . Even subtle nuances and quiet background noises are captured precisely - for authentic room imaging that other microphones cannot achieve.
Three switchable stereo settings
Whether MS stereo for flexible post-processing , XY stereo (narrow) for focused recordings or XY stereo (wide) for more spatial sound - the MKH 8018 offers maximum recording freedom. Particularly practical: the stereo matrix can be activated directly in the microphone so that no additional mixers are required.
Ideal for professionals in film, sport and nature
Thanks to its excellent directivity , the MKH 8018 is perfect for demanding sound recordings in film and video productions , sports broadcasts or environmental and nature recordings . The switchable low-cut filter (3 dB at 70 Hz) reliably minimizes wind and handling noise.
Compact design and perfect compatibility
With its compact design , the MKH 8018 can be easily mounted on cameras. The identical sound color to other microphones in the MKH 8000 series ensures seamless combinations in a professional set.
Further highlights of the MKH 8018:
- High-quality -10 dB pad to prevent clipping
- Balanced output signals for distortion-free processing
- Extended bass response for full frequency presence
- Flexibility in microphone positioning
Key Features
- Stereo shotgun capsule configuration captures sound with an immersive sense of directionality and spatial realism
- Three switchable stereo-modes: MS, XY-narrow, and XY-wide
- Ideal mic choice for capturing film and video production with a sense of directionality; stereo soundscapes during screenplay scenes, sporting events, and spatially accurate environmental sounds, wildlife, and more
- Switchable low-cut filter (-3 dB at 70 Hz) reduces wind- and handling noise
- High-quality -10 dB pad protects against overdriving
- Ideal for camera mounting due to compact design
- Identical timbre as other MKH 8000 series microphones for optimum aural compatibility
- Fully floating balanced output allows for non-critical connection technology with minimal distortion
- A low-tension diaphragm and symmetrical, acoustically open push-pull transducer design keep the sound flow as unrestricted and undistorted as possible
- Extended bass response enables capturing sound to the fullest extent and gives more freedom for microphone positioning
Scope of delivery
- MKH 8018 microphone
- MZW 8018 foam windscreen
- MZQ 100 microphone clamp
- MZR 8000 camera adapter
