Ideal as a spot microphone for surround recordingsThe Sennheiser MKH 8040 is a versatile cardioid microphone designed for applications in rooms with poor acoustics or where disturbing sounds may occur from behind. Featuring a balanced frequency response, extremely low distortion and cardioid pick-up pattern the MKH 8040 is perfectly suitable for a wide range of applications. This mic features a balanced frequency response throughout the entire pick-up pattern, along with a significantly reduced pick-up of rear sound without depriving it of its natural timbre.
