Sennheiser MKH 8020
Its omni-directional pick-up pattern makes the Sennheiser MKH 8020 the ideal main mic for “spaced pair” and “Decca Tree” recordings or the use in an OSS “Jecklin Disk“ array. Especially in acoustically favorable ambiences this excellent microphone unfolds its outstanding quality. With a wide frequency response, which reaches deep down to 10 Hz the Sennheiser MKH 8020 is a perfect choice for capturing instruments like organ, grand piano or double bass in all their natural beauty. Furthermore, its capsule design is optimized for an extraordinarily even directional diagram.
