The MKH 20 is usually used as a main microphone for orchestras and solo instruments, and picks up the natural acoustics of the room, though it does have a much wider range of applications as omni-directional microphones do not suffer from proximity effect. A pressure build-up ring is included and is used to accentuate high-frequency response.
Features:
- Exceptionally flat frequency response, switchable for near and diffuse field applications
- High-frequency response can be accentuated by means of a pressure build-up ring
- Slightly increasing directivity at high frequencies to adjust tonal balance
- Exceptionally low inherent self-noise
- Transformerless and fully floating balanced output
- Switchable pre-attenuation
- Black, anodised light metal body
- The microphone is capable of handling sound pressure levels of up to 142dB (using the 10dB Pad)
- 1 MZS 40 shock mount, 1 MZW 41 windshield and 1 pressure build-up ring included
