The MK 8 offers an excellent solution for both advanced home recording and project studios. It is the microphone for those who put all their passion into their audio projects. The MK 8 offers sophisticated possibilities to put your personal stamp on the sound.

The two-diaphragm condenser microphone delivers warm and precise sound reproduction. Its five independent polar patterns allow for a variety of recording applications and sound design options.

Regardless of the mixer or recording device used, the MK 8 adjusts input sensitivity with a 3-step attenuator. Two adjustable filters compensate for proximity effect as well as low-frequency noise and structure-borne sound.

The MK 8 features dual 1-inch diaphragms, carefully plated with 24-carat gold. The shock-mounted capsule is housed in a robust metal enclosure.
