Type: Shotgun Microphones

The MKH 8018 is a stereo shotgun RF condenser microphone that delivers a rich sense of directionality and spatial realism.

It features three switchable stereo-modes — MS, XY-narrow, and XY-wide — along with a remarkable push-pull transducer design. In combination with a low-tension diaphragm, this transducer design delivers remarkable sensitivity and wide frequency response, so you can capture sound as authentically as possible.

Features

Stereo shotgun capsule configuration captures sound with an immersive sense of directionality and spatial realism
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
Three switchable stereo-modes: MS, XY-narrow, and XY-wide
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 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 in its full frequency extent and gives more freedom for microphone positioning
Part of a complete series of condenser microphones; MKH 8000 series includes all standard polar patterns that audio recording professionals need for various applications
German-engineered with durable metal housing and rugged construction means superior reliability
Moisture-resistant design ideal for use in humid, hot, and cold environments where other mics fail
Optimal polar pattern avoids off-axis colorations, allows for coherent sound image, especially for larger sound sources
Low self-noise for greater detail in audio; retains the softness of quiet sounds and increases dynamics
Low nonlinear distortion avoids adding new frequency spectrum, thus maintaining sonic clarity
Compact size means easy transport; it is visually unobtrusive in live shows or TV
Nextel® non-reflecting paint ensures no reflection from stage lights, keeping the mic visually unobtrusive in live shows or TV
Non-modular design; fixed XLR 5M-Out

Recording Flexibility via 3 Switchable Modes

With its switchable modes — MS, XY-narrow, and XY-wide — MKH 8018 allows sound recordists remarkable flexibility. In M-S mode, MKH 8018 provides independent mid and side signals. This allows the width of the stereo image to be adjusted in post-production or in the field with a matrix mixer. Or choose from two internally matrixed modes that provide traditional “left-right” stereo without the need for external mixers. To accommodate varying acoustic environments, the user may select between a “wide” pattern (LR-W) with increased ambient pickup, and a “narrow” pattern (LR-N) which offers more rejection and less ambiance.

Great for the money.

This is a good option for a cheap wireless system. Haven’t had any problems so far.

Great choice

I was tired of lifting heavy speakers out of my house, then into my car, then out of my car, into the venue and up onto stands and then having to run leads to everything, all before a performance. My son recommended the JBL eon mk2, as he had hired the same for his gigging. I can be set up in less than 10 minutes and pull down in the same time. I ...Read More

Loving the SSL E Dyn. Apparently this was on every channel during sessions with the console. I can see why. Great way to get a clean punchy signal into your DAW. Love the extender circuit as well, it does a great job of keeping any unwanted background noise out of your recording.
