Petite size is perfect for camera-mounting as well as booming

Due to its diminutive size (only 5.7 inches in length), the Sennheiser MKH 8060 has the agility to get into tight production spaces and capture first-class pro audio. Boomed or camera-mounted, the MKH 8060 will become your versatile goto production mic.

Off-axis sound is attenuated without colorations

Sennheiser MKH 8060 effectively attenuates off-axis sound without coloring your audio. Even after the director calls “Action,” production sets are noisy affairs – especially on location.

Once you record with the MKH 8060, you’ll have a new best friend.
