At IBC, Sennheiser unveiled a brand new filter module for its MKH 8000 RF condenser microphone sequence. Best for filming and broadcasting, the brand new MZF 8000 II mannequin successfully blocks interference brought on by infrasound, similar to low-frequency wind noise. and manipulation.
This new filter module, impressed by person strategies, replaces the earlier mannequin permitting recordings of significantly better high quality, with out saturation of the rendering on linked recorders
Model II of the filter module is provided with a high-quality -10 dB switchable pad and a low-pass filter switchable at 70 Hz (-3 dB) and a set one at 16 Hz (-3 dB), with a steeper slope of 18 dB/oct.
If broadcast-specific microphones, similar to micro-canons MKH 8060 et MKH 8070 are manufacturing unit outfitted with a low cross filter to chop out wind and dealing with noise, this isn’t the case with different microphones within the sequence MKH 8000.
As these microphones have a really broad frequency response, together with 10 to 60,000 Hz for the omnidirectional microphone MKH 8020. It’s due to this fact really useful so as to add the filter for particular cinema and broadcast wants.
If recorders are linked, the -10 dB attenuation pad of the MZF 8000 II filter means that you can restrict the audio sign from loud noise sources, in order to not saturate the recorded output. This is applicable to all 8000 sequence microphones.
The filter module has extraordinarily low self-noise to protect advanced acoustic particulars. With a diameter of 19 mm and a size of solely 29 mm, this compact module screws on to the microphone or will be linked with an MZL cable, when the microphone have to be as little seen as doable.
Conclusion : higher rendering, much less interference linked to compression and attenuation of the sign within the presence of pointless and/or undesirable frequencies and due to this fact extra genuine recording dynamics. Everyone seems to be pleased: the sound recordists, increase operators, editors and post-production mixers! Any sound recordist utilizing Sennheiser microphones could be fallacious to do with out this new filter module or to not take a look at it!
