Sennheiser MKH 8018

The MKH 8018 is a stereo shotgun RF condenser microphone that captures sound with an accurate sense of direction and spaciousness. With an advanced push-pull transducer design and a low-voltage diaphragm, this microphone offers high sensitivity and a wide frequency range, so you capture sound as faithfully as possible.

Capture sound that other microphones miss
The MKH 8018 is a stereo shotgun RF condenser microphone that captures an unprecedented sense of direction and spaciousness. Thanks to an innovative push-pull transducer combined with a low-voltage diaphragm, this microphone offers exceptional sensitivity and a wide frequency range. This allows you to capture sound with maximum authenticity.

Flexible recording options with 3 switchable modes
The MKH 8018 offers versatility thanks to three stereo settings: MS, XY-narrow and XY-wide. In MS mode, the mid and side signals are captured separately, so stereo width can be adjusted in post-production or live via a matrix mixer. For instant stereo recording without external mixers, you can choose between a "narrow" (LR-N) or "wide" (LR-W) recording pattern. The narrow setting offers more focused recording with less ambient noise, while the wide setting picks up more ambience.
