Professional Audio/Video

Designed with an emphasis on sound quality over bells and whistles, the Sennheiser MK 4 is a large-diaphragm true condenser microphone offering warm and detailed audio capture that complements a range of sources from vocals and speech to acoustic instruments, drum overheads, guitar amps, and more. Since it incorporates an internally shock-mounted capsule and a rugged metal housing, the MK 4 is not only an obvious choice for the studio, but also a dependable companion on stage.

The MK 4 features a large 1" diaphragm plated in 24kt gold to enhance conductivity, resist corrosion, and yield a tone based on the e 965 vocal mic. The cardioid polar pattern strongly rejects sound behind the mic while picking up side-entry sound without coloration. The mic's low-noise circuitry further solidifies it as a studio mic capable of meeting the demands of digital recording systems. Use an XLR mic cable (available separately) to connect the MK 4 to any mic preamp that can supply 48V phantom power.

Designed to bring multiple polar pattern flexibility to home and project studios, the MK 8 Multiple-Pattern Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone from Sennheiser features dual 24K gold-plated 1" diaphragms, allowing for a selection between omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, supercardioid, and figure-8 polar patterns. A 3-position pad switch lets you select between 0, 10, and 20 dB of attenuation, allowing the MK 8 to be used on a variety of sources. The controls on the mic are rounded out by a selectable low-cut filter at 60 and 100 Hz.
