Sennheiser MKH 8060 Moisture‑Resistant Short Shotgun Microphone

At the heart of this kit is the Sennheiser MKH 8060 moisture‑resistant short shotgun microphone. Built for demanding conditions, this microphone offers sharp directivity, low self noise, and high output. With RF condenser design, it resists moisture and humidity, providing dependable performance in challenging weather and high-pressure shoots.

The supercardioid-to-lobar polar pattern provides consistent attenuation of 10 to 20 dB between 90° and 120° off axis, preserving clarity and tone. With its extended frequency response from 50 Hz up to 25 kHz and ultra low 11 dBA self noise, the MKH 8060 records dialogue, foley, and ambient sound with crisp detail and high dynamic range.

Accessories for Professional On‑Location Recording

This deluxe kit includes essential accessories for fast setup and optimal audio capture. A Rycote Softie windshield helps reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors. The universal shockmount and pistol grip offer secure and vibration-free mounting whether you are using a boompole or camera setup.

A cabled graphite boompole, complete with short and long right-angled XLR cables and a durable carrying bag, ensures you have everything needed for professional field recording workflows. These components support the capturing of high quality sound for video, film, documentary, and immersive sound design.
