The MKH 8070

The MKH 8070 is a gun microphone from the modular MKH 8000 microphone series

that convinces with its excellent directivity and especially natural sound. The

microphone’s special design ensures that off-axis sound is attenuated without col-

orations. The MKH 8070 is especially suitable for distance recording situations, e.g.

in film and TV, both in the studio and outdoors.

The microphone operates on the RF principle that has been used by Sennheiser for

more than 50 years, now brought to highest level of perfection. Among the many

advantages of this principle are an extremely low inherent self-noise, the capa-

bility to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion and a high resistance

to adverse climatic conditions.

• Lobar pick-up pattern

•Verynaturalsound

• Off-axis sound is attenuated without colorations while a uniform sound

structure is maintained

• Exceptionally low inherent self-noise prevents masking of delicate sound

structures

• Symmetrical transducer technology ensures extremely low distortion

• Transformerless and fully floating balanced output: no coupling of spurious sig-

nals, minimal distortion

• High output signal voltage ensures interference-free signal paths

• Rugged metal housing with non-reflective Nextel coating

• Extremely weather-proof due to high-frequency circuit

• Can be used as an analog or – with the digital module – digital microphone

• Versatile use due to the extensive range of accessories available for the

MKH 8000 series, e.g.:

– MZD 8000 digital module

– MZF 8000 filter module

– Windshield systems

–Shockmounts

A list of accessories can be found on the MKH 8070 product page

at www.sennheiser.com. For information on suppliers, contact your local

Putting the MKH 8070 into operation

Connecting the microphone

Connection data of the MKH 8070:

• 48 V ± 4 V phantom powering (P48, as per IEC 61938)

• XLR-3 connector, balanced

To connect the MKH 8070 to a mixing console or recording device:

왘Connect the socket of the microphone cable to the microphone.

왘Connect the connector of the microphone cable to the mixing console or

recording device.

Attaching the microphone

왘Select the suitable mounting thread:

– Without thread insert: 5/8” thread

– Thread insert: 3/8” thread

왘Screw the microphone clamp 4to a stand.

왘Place the microphone with its back end into the microphone clamp: Make sure

that the lateral slots are not covered.

왘Orient the microphone together with the microphone clamp and fix them by

screwing the wing screw tight.

Putting the MKH 8070 into operation

To suppress structure-borne noise, you can use the optional shock mount.

Using the windshield

The windshield changes the sound only slightly, but attenuates wind noise by

approx. 25 dB.

왘Place the MZW 8070 foam windshield 1over the microphone head 2so that

all lateral slots are covered.

Alternative windshields are available as accessories and can be found on

the MKH 8070 product page at www.sennheiser.com.

Using optional modules

You can retrofit and extend the microphones of the modular MKH 8000 micro-

phone series by using optional modules.

The MZF 8000 filter module

The MZF 8000 filter module has been specially designed for broadcast and film

applications. It effectively filters out interference caused by infrasound, such a low-

frequency wind and handling noise.

왘If necessary, disconnect a connected XLR cable in order to not distort the cable

and to avoid short-circuits.

왘Unscrew the microphone head 2from the XLR module 3.

왘Screw the MZF 8000 filter module 4at a suitable place in the audio signal

chain between microphone head and XLR module.

Using optional modules

The MZD 8000 digital module

The MZD 8000 digital module is an A/D converter for all microphone heads of the

MKH 8000 series. The sound of the MKH 8000 series is converted to digital directly

at the microphone head, ensuring that the warm, natural, yet clear and powerful

sound of the microphones is maintained in full quality along the entire signal chain.

The MZD 8000 digital module eliminates cable losses and, most importantly, fea-

tures a converter and surrounding circuitry that have been optimally matched to

the microphone.

왘If necessary, disconnect a connected XLR cable in order to not distort the cable

and to avoid short-circuits.

왘Unscrew the microphone head 2from the XLR module 3.

왘Screw the MZD 8000 digital module 5to the microphone head.
