The MKH 8090

The MKH 8090 is a high-end wide cardioid studio condenser microphone from the

modular MKH 8000 microphone series. This RF condenser microphone is especially

suitable for orchestral recordings because it can be used both as a main mirco-

phone and as a support microphone.

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.

• Wide cardioid pick-up pattern

•Verynaturalsound

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

• 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

signals, 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

• 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 8090 product page at

Putting the MKH 8090 into operation

Connecting the microphone

Connection data of the MKH 8090:

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

• XLR-3 connector, balanced

To connect the MKH 8090 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.

Retrofitting and extending the microphone

Using the windshield

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

approx. 30 dB.

왘Place the MZW 8000 windshield 1over the microphone head 2so that all

lateral slots are covered.

Retrofitting and extending the microphone

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

phone series by exchanging the microphone head or by using optional modules.

왘Disconnect all cables from the microphone.

왘Unscrew the microphone head 2from the XLR module 3.

왘Add, for example, the MZF 8000 filter module 5.

왘Screw the modules together again.

Alternative windshields are available as accessories and can be found on

the MKH 8090 product page at www.sennheiser.com.
