Sennheiser MK 8

Designed to provide multiple polar pattern flexibility for home and project studios, the Sennheiser MK 8 Multiple-Pattern Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone features dual 24K gold-plated 1" diaphragms. It offers five selectable pickup patterns — omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, supercardioid, and figure-8 — allowing it to adapt to various recording situations.

A 3-position pad switch provides attenuation at 0, 10, or 20 dB, while a selectable low-cut filter at 60 or 100 Hz helps reduce low-frequency noise.
