Kommentar des Toningenieurs

Tonal Profile

The supercardioid of the MKH 40/50 pair: an RF condenser without an interference tube, so it keeps a usable off-axis response where a shotgun colours everything at the sides. Interiors, booms in small rooms, and the classic MS partner for the MKH 30.

Gain Staging Advice

12 dB(A) at 25 mV/Pa is the reason this microphone survives at a distance: the floor is low enough that the preamp, not the capsule, becomes the limit. Nominal impedance is 150 ohms - six times the MKH 8040's 25 - so cable length is less of a worry.

Was im Datenblatt tatsächlich steht

Wörtlich von der Herstellerseite zitiert, mit dem Datum der Prüfung. Wir behaupten das Gedruckte, nicht die Absicht dahinter.

Einheit nicht genannt
«Equivalent noise level (db) 12 (18) dB»

The product page prints the noise figure without naming a weighting, and does not print the sensitivity at all. Sennheiser's own quick guide for the same model, linked from that page, prints «Equivalent noise level A-weighted 12 (18) dB(A)» and «Sensitivity (free field, no load, 1 kHz) 25 (8) mV/Pa ±1 dB». The bracketed second value is the state with the -10 dB pad engaged; the page says neither of these things.
