The Sennheiser MKH 800 TWIN is a dual-capsule large-diaphragm condenser microphone, offering unparalleled quality for universal studio applications. It features two distinct cardioid capsules arranged back-to-back in a coincidental setup. Each capsule boasts an individual output, allowing connection to any standard microphone preamplifier.

Advanced Audio Customisation

Unlike traditional microphones that combine transducer signals to create varying pick-up patterns, the MKH 800 TWIN presents each capsule's signal as separate channels at the output. This innovative design facilitates remote adjustment of pick-up patterns. By mixing these signals at the console, users can craft any pick-up pattern from omnidirectional to figure-8, with countless nuances in between. Additionally, there's the option to process each signal independently for unparalleled sound shaping.

Drawing inspiration from the iconic MKH 800, the TWIN model revolutionises studio recording, especially in acoustically challenging environments. It enables selective equalisation or filtering of the rear-facing capsule, maintaining desired polar patterns while offering precision adjustments unavailable with conventional microphones.

Optimal for Surround Sound Techniques

The MKH 800 TWIN excels in complex recording setups like the 'double MS' (Mid-Sides-Mid) technique, which is ideal for surround sound applications. Integrating signals from both cardioid capsules with an additional figure-of-eight microphone allows for comprehensive surround sound capture, facilitating post-production adjustments for perfect audio balance.
