Sennheiser MKH 8000 Manual, Specification Sheet

Cat. No. 502097 
MZD 8000
Mikrophone | MKH 8000 Series
General Description
The  fantastic  sound  of  the  MKH  8000  series  can  now  be  converted  to 
digital directly at the microphone head, ensuring a natural sound without 
any  loss  of  quality.  The  compact  digital  module  is  simply  screwed  onto 
the microphone head in place of the XLR module, turning the audio signal 
of the MKH 8020 (omni-directional), MKH 8040 (cardioid) and MKH 8050 
(super-cardioid) into a  digital one.  The  new  digital module ensures  that 
the warm, natural, yet fantastically clear and powerful sound of the MKH 
8000 series is maintained in full quality along the entire signal chain. In 
contrast  to  conventional  digitization,  which  uses  a  separate  analogue/
digital  converter  at  some  stage  in  the  chain,  the  Sennheiser  MZD  8000 
digital module eliminates cable losses and, most importantly, features a 
converter and surrounding circuitry that have been optimally matched to 
the microphone.
Like all signal-carrying components in the 8000 series, the module is desi-
gned with two channels and converts the microphone signal according to 
the AES 42 standard. The microphones can be synchronized by any digital 
system. In addition to the A/D converter (24-bit, sampling rate up to 192 
kHz), the digital module contains a highly integrated DSP unit. With the 
aid of dedicated PC control software and an AES 42 interface, the micro-
phone allows settings such as the low-cut filter, attenuation and limiter 
to be remote-controlled. The required phantom power for microphones is 
provided by an AES 42 interface, e.g. Neumann’s DMI.
