Sennheiser MKH 8060 Condenser Modular Microphone

The Sennheiser MKH 8060 is a compact supercardioid/lobar shotgun condenser mic for film, documentaries, and outdoor shoots. Delivers natural sound, 129 dB SPL handling, low self-noise, and weatherproof RF design in a 175 mm Nextel-coated body—perfect for camera mounting with modular XLR output.

The Sennheiser MKH 8060 is a professional-grade, compact shotgun microphone from the MKH 8000 series, engineered for high-end film, documentary, broadcast, and location sound where clarity, directionality, and durability are paramount. Its supercardioid/lobar pickup pattern provides tight forward focus with exceptional off-axis linearity—rejecting side noise without coloration—while the symmetrical RF condenser capsule ensures natural, transparent sound with extremely low self-noise (11 dB-A) and distortion. With 129 dB max SPL handling and a wide 50–25,000 Hz frequency response, it captures every detail in dynamic environments. The rugged, non-reflective Nextel-coated metal housing and weatherproof RF circuitry withstand harsh outdoor conditions, and its modular design (145 mm capsule + MZX 8000 XLR module) allows easy integration with camera rigs. Timbrally matched to the 8000 series, it's ideal for stereo, surround, or multi-mic arrays.
