The figure-eight pattern of the MK 8 remains constant from low to high frequencies, which is particularly important when used in an M\/S setup. Its sensitivity rolls off more at low frequencies than other capsules, but proximity effect (which can compensate, given relatively close placement) is also more pronounced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction of the MK 8 is a special technical accomplishment, because in terms of physics, the available force due to the pressure gradient is minimal. Despite this, the MK 8 has excellent frequency and polar response, near-perfect front\/back symmetry, and low inherent noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe microphone is comparatively sensitive to solid-borne sound as well as wind and breath noise. Good protection should be considered, e.g. suitable wind screening and\/or shock mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickup direction is lateral, i.e. perpendicular to the microphone housing, and the 0° and 180° axes are indicated respectively by red and black dots on the capsule housing. When recording with M\/S, the 0° axis (as viewed from a position behind the microphone) should point to the left, and the \"8\" engraved on top of the capsule should be precisely horizontal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"h3NotNext\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFigure-8 characteristic (pure\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/schoeps.de\/fileadmin\/user_upload\/user_upload\/Schoeps_Microphone_type_basicproperties.pdf\"\u003epressure-gradient transducer\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePickup direction: Lateral (perpendicular to the microphone axis)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e0°-axis marked with a red dot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreferred application: M\/S, double M\/S and \"Blumlein\" stereo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandMore expandText\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandMoreText\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"h3Next\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"h3Next\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/schoeps.de\/en\/knowledge\/knowledge-base\/technische-grundlagen\/pickup-pattern-and-the-polar-diagram.html\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePickup pattern\u003c\/a\u003e - \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFigure-of-eight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/schoeps.de\/en\/knowledge\/knowledge-base\/technische-grundlagen\/frequency-range.html\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrequency range\u003c\/a\u003e - \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e40 Hz - 15 kHz with CMC6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e                                - \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e40 Hz - 15 kHz with CMC6xt (above 20 kHz, the level of -3 dB for the                                                            cutoff frequency is not exceeded despite the xt boost)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/schoeps.de\/en\/knowledge\/knowledge-base\/technische-grundlagen\/sensitivity.html\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/a\u003e - -38,5 dB (V\/Pa), 12 mV\/Pa with CMC 6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/schoeps.de\/en\/knowledge\/knowledge-base\/technische-grundlagen\/equivalent-noise-level.html\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEquivalent noise level (A-weighted)\u003c\/a\u003e - 17 dB with CMC 6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/schoeps.de\/en\/knowledge\/knowledge-base\/technische-grundlagen\/equivalent-noise-level.html\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEquivalent noise level (CCIR)\u003c\/a\u003e - 26 dB with CMC 6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/schoeps.de\/en\/knowledge\/knowledge-base\/technische-grundlagen\/signal-to-noise-ratio.html\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio (A-weighted)\u003c\/a\u003e - 77 dB with CMC 6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/schoeps.de\/en\/knowledge\/knowledge-base\/technische-grundlagen\/maximum-sound-pressure-level.html\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMaximum sound pressure level (THD \u0026lt; 0.5 %)\u003c\/a\u003e - 133 dB-SPL with CMC 6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLength - 34 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiameter - 20 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeight - 18 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/schoeps.de\/en\/knowledge\/knowledge-base\/technische-grundlagen\/surface.html\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSurface finish\u003c\/a\u003e - Matte grey\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e                           Custom colour: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003enickel, chromagreen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schoeps Mikrofone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41230967996583,"sku":"","price":1825.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0334\/9659\/6612\/files\/SchoepsMikrofoneMK8Figure-Eight.png?v=1780579279","url":"https:\/\/oceaniaaudiosales.co.nz\/products\/schoeps-mikrofone-mk-8-figure-eight","provider":"Oceania Audio Sales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
