Product Description
Designed to bring multiple polar pattern flexibility to home and project studios, the†MK 8 - Multiple-Pattern Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone†from†Sennheiser†features dual 24K gold plated 1" diaphragms allowing for a selection between omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, supercardioid, and figure-8 polar patterns. A 3-position pad switch lets you select between 0, 10, and 20dB of attenuation allowing the MK 8 to be used on a variety of sources. The controls on the mic are rounded out by a selectable low-cut filter at 60 and 100Hz.†
