The Sennheiser MKH 8060 Compact Shotgun Microphone is a professional-grade solution for capturing high-quality audio. Its short, lightweight design makes it ideal for camera mounting, boom use, or discreet placement in tight shooting conditions, all without compromising performance.
With its supercardioid/lobar pickup pattern, the MKH 8060 delivers an incredibly natural sound while offering exceptional off-axis linearity. It effectively attenuates unwanted side sound without introducing coloration, making it perfect for dynamic production settings.
As part of the 8000 series, the MKH 8060 can be paired with the MZD 8000 digital module to transform into a fully digital microphone. Its RF condenser technology ensures reliability in adverse weather conditions, while the Nextel-coated finish reduces reflections on set, allowing for both acoustic precision and visual discretion.
