Sennheiser MKH 8030 Figure-8 RF Condenser Microphone - 700251

I have used an MKH30 in combination with a MKH20, 40 or 50 for M&S format nature recording since 1989. The mics still perform perfectly today. The MK8030 is the same excellent sound and build quality, but in a very much more compact form, and coupled with the MK8040 has allowed me to make my gear (esp. windshields) very much smaller and lighter. It has also worked well for DMS coupled with a pair of MKH40s, and alternatively with an MKH800 TWIN mounted vertically. In fact, I liked the mic so much I bought a second one. 3D Broadcast were very competitive on pricing and the mics arrived within the time indicated.
