Universal studio condenser wired stereo microphone includes dual capsule consisting of two symmetrical push-pull transducers with high linearity. Side fire microphone with the two cardioid pickup patterns of the transducer aligned back-to-back across the axis of the microphone. Signals of both transducers are not combined in the microphone in order to generate differing pickup patterns but are available separately as two channels at the microphone output. Allows the pickup patterns of the MKH 800 TWIN to be remotely adjusted. Signals can be combined in any desired way in the mixing console in order to create all pickup patterns from omnidirectional to figure-8 with an infinite number of intermediate stages. Based on the legendary MKH 800, this microphone opens up to a new dimension of studio recordings.
