MKH 8018, Great novelty of Sennheiser in NAB 2025

Created for Broadcast and Cinematographic applications, and characterized by its weather resistance and robustness, the new MKH 8018 stereo cannon microphone becomes one of the main attractions of the stand of the stand of Sennheiser in NAB 2025 (April 6 - 9, Las Vegas).

The new short cannon microphone MKH 8018 Complete the range Mkh 8000 of RF condenser microphones of the company, which stand out in the countryside thanks to its robustness in the open and its natural sound capture. For greater flexibility of the audio engineer, the MKH 8018, compact and light, has three switching stereo modes: stereo MS, stereo xy wide (wide) and stereo xy narrow (narrow). MS mode allows the engineer to adjust the Space image Continuously at the mixture table, while XY modes are pre -founded in MKH 8018, with precise adjustments after numerous tests.

In order for the MKH 8018 to be the easiest to handle possible, Sennheiser engineers have incorporated a Aluminum housing so that despite less in a camera or pole. In addition, the microphone, unlike most other microphones from the 8000 series, is not modular, has an output XLR-5M fixed and a Integrated pad of -10 dB Against saturation, filters to adapt the frequency response and a low -switching cutting filter of -3 dB to 70 Hz.

Since the MKH 8018 has been designed for Broadcast and filming applications, the extremely wide common frequency response of the MKH microphones has limited to 40-20,000 Hz. This avoids the overload of the mixing table with inaudible distortion below 40 Hz and above 20 kHz, where ultrasonic cameras lens measurement systems are used.

Also, Sennheiser's last development highlights his homogeneous sound image and can issue stereo ms For later processing in the study or in a mixer, or, by an internal matrix, XY stereo in a wide or narrow mode without the need for an external mixer. In XY-W (width), the microphone emphasizes the lateral signal, thus capturing more environment. In Xy-N (narrow), the approach focuses on the average signal, which provides the Sound Engineer with greater directionality.

The MKH 8018 is delivered with a microphone clamp MZQ 100, a windbug MZW 8018 and a threaded plastic transport tube. In addition, the company offers the camera adapter Mzr 8000, that surrounds the body of the microphone to get a safe adjustment with other microphone and cameras tweezers, and other optional accessories such as cannon handle/suspension MZS 20-1, the Casasa Survas MZW 60-1 and the roof MZH 60-1 For outdoor use.

Focus at St 2110

Another of the main attractions of Sennheiser's presence in NAB 2025 are the demonstrations of the ecosystem Spectera Bidirectional Broadband, which takes advantage of the research of a decade of the company in multichannel wireless audio systems (WMAS). The company also exhibits digital band solutions Digital 6000 y EW-DX with the new Dante of four channels; The entire range of Broadcast microphones of Sennheiser, and the new microphone all in one Profile Wireless, aimed at content creators.

Sennheiser also takes advantage of his presence in Las Vegas to publicize the latest news of Neumann, among the Rime, a DAW (VST3, AU, AAX) complement that allows users to monitor immersive formats such as Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 through headphones through innovative Amboorithm algorithms. In addition, Neumann shows its acclaimed line of KH studio speakers and its NDH headphones line, as well as the MT 48 audio interface for Mac and PC, now compatible with Dante.

From the perspective of Merging Technologies, all looks are put in version 11 of Ovation, multimedia audio player and Merging flagship event sequencer. Compatible with intelligent workflows within a ST 2110 environment, it is integrated with remote control protocols, both traditional and modern. Similarly, its intuitive user interface offers simple operation for demanding productions, including all immersive audio formats and virtual machine environments.
