This type of capsule is a pure dipole. The figure-eight pattern of the MK 8 remains constant from low to high frequencies, which is particularly important when used in an M\/S setup. Its sensitivity rolls off more at low frequencies than other capsules, but proximity effect (which can compensate, given relatively close placement) is also more pronounced.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eProduction of the MK 8 is a special technical accomplishment, because in terms of physics, the available force due to the pressure gradient is minimal. Despite this, the MK 8 has excellent frequency and polar response, near-perfect front\/back symmetry, and low inherent noise.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe microphone is comparatively sensitive to solid-borne sound as well as wind and breath noise. Good protection should be considered, e.g. suitable wind screening and\/or shock mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe pickup direction is lateral, i.e. perpendicular to the microphone housing, and the 0° and 180° axes are indicated respectively by red and black dots on the capsule housing. When recording with M\/S, the 0° axis (as viewed from a position behind the microphone) should point to the left, and the \"8\" engraved on top of the capsule should be precisely horizontal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schoeps Mikrofone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451259514983,"sku":"473637","price":349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/schoeps-mk-8-bi-directional-capsule-3432-used_473637_1.jpg?v=1787096519","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/schoeps-mk-8-bi-directional-capsule-3432-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
