Sennheiser MKH 800 TWIN NX — Dual-Pattern RF Condenser Microphone
MKH 800 TWIN NX Overview
The Sennheiser MKH 800 TWIN NX is a high-resolution RF condenser microphone built for studio recording, broadcast, and location sound applications where precise polar pattern control is essential. Based on Sennheiser’s renowned MKH 800 TWIN platform, it features dual back-to-back capsule arrays that allow the polar pattern to be adjusted remotely or in post-production, providing exceptional flexibility across a wide range of recording scenarios. The microphone’s RF bias technology delivers the low self-noise, extended frequency response, and humidity resistance that define the MKH series. It is suited for recording engineers, broadcast facilities, film and television production teams, and post-production houses demanding the highest level of sonic accuracy.
The MKH 800 TWIN NX outputs two independent signals via a dedicated multi-pin connector, enabling polar pattern morphing from omnidirectional through cardioid to figure-eight entirely in the mix environment without resetting the microphone position.
Key Features
- Dual Independent Capsule Outputs — Two back-to-back capsule signals are delivered simultaneously, allowing polar pattern selection and adjustment in post-production or via a dedicated controller
- RF Condenser Technology — Sennheiser’s high-frequency bias design provides inherent resistance to humidity and temperature extremes, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments
- Continuously Variable Polar Pattern — Pattern can be morphed from omnidirectional through cardioid, supercardioid, and figure-eight by blending the two output signals
- Extended Frequency Response — MKH-series capsule design delivers wide, flat frequency response suited for critical music recording and broadcast applications
- Low Self-Noise — RF condenser architecture contributes to the low noise floor characteristic of the MKH 800 series, preserving fine detail in quiet sources
- NX Connector Configuration — Configured with the NX multi-pin output connector for integration with compatible Sennheiser accessories and control systems
- Transformerless Circuit Design — Provides high common-mode rejection and clean signal transfer with minimal coloration across the frequency range
