MKH 8070

Putting the MKH 8070 into operation

To suppress structure-borne noise, you can use the optional shock mount.

Using the windshield

The windshield changes the sound only slightly, but attenuates wind noise by
approx. 25 dB.

Place the MZW 8070 foam windshield

1

 over the microphone head

2

 so that

all lateral slots are covered.

Alternative windshields are available as accessories and can be found on
the MKH 8070 product page at www.sennheiser.com.
