The figure-8 polar pattern captures audio equally from front and rear while rejecting the sides, making the MKH 8030 the standard side capsule for MS stereo configurations alongside the MKH 8060 or MKH 8018. Includes MKH 8030 microphone, MZW 8030 foam windshield, MZQ 8000 mic clamp, MZX 8000 XLR module, and two Rycote back-to-back clips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MKH 8030 uses the same RF condenser push-pull transducer technology as the MKH 8000 series, delivering very low self-noise, extended frequency response, and excellent off-axis coloration rejection. The figure-8 polar pattern is unique in the MKH 8000 lineup and is essential for MS stereo recording setups where the MKH 8030 serves as the side microphone capturing ambient and spatial information. The MZX 8000 XLR module attaches to the back of the MKH 8030 capsule for direct XLR connection to mixers, interfaces, or DSP processors. The two included Rycote back-to-back clips allow the MKH 8030 to be mounted perpendicularly to an MKH mid capsule in a compact MS configuration without additional adapter hardware. Compatible with extension tubes (MZE 8xxx series), gooseneck, and MKH 8000 series accessories available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFigure-8 Polar Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e — Equal front and rear pickup with side rejection; the standard side capsule for MS stereo recording.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRF Condenser Push-Pull Transducer\u003c\/strong\u003e — Low self-noise, extended frequency response, and minimal off-axis coloration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMKH 8000 Modular System\u003c\/strong\u003e — Compatible with extension tubes, goosenecks, and the full MKH 8000 accessory range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMS Stereo Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e — Designed for pairing with an MKH 8060 or MKH 8018 mid capsule for MS stereo configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes MZX 8000 XLR Module\u003c\/strong\u003e — Direct XLR connection to audio infrastructure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes 2x Rycote Back-to-Back Clips\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mount MKH 8030 alongside an MKH mid capsule without additional adapters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClimate-Resistant Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — Reliable in outdoor film and broadcast environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm and video production MS stereo side capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast and location sound MS stereo recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoom ambience and spatial audio capture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNature and wildlife documentary field recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium and concert hall stereo microphone integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e700251\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003ePolar Pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eFigure-8 (bidirectional)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eTransducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eRF condenser, push-pull\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMKH 8000 (modular)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eIncludes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMKH 8030 mic, MZW 8030 windshield, MZQ 8000 clamp, MZX 8000 XLR module, 2x Rycote back-to-back clips\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the MKH 8030 as a standalone microphone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes.
