Sennheiser MKH 20-P48 RF Condenser Microphone

Sennheiser Updated: 2009-01-09 RSS

The MKH 20 is usually used as a main microphone for orchestras and solo instruments, and picks up the natural acoustics of the room, though it does have a much wider range of applications as omni-directional microphones do not suffer from 'proximity effect'.

Features

* Exceptionally flat frequency response, switchable for near and diffuse field applications
* High-frequency response can be accentuated by means of a pressure build-up ring
* Slightly increasing directivity at high frequencies to adjust tonal balance
* Exceptionally low inherent self-noise
* Transformerless and fully floating balanced output
* Switchable pre-attenuation
* Black, anodised light metal body

Delivery Includes

* 1 MKH 20, 1 MZS 40 shock mount
* 1 MZW 41 windshield, 1 pressure build-up ring
