General Description
The MKH 20 is usually used as a main microphone for orchestras and solo instruments, and picks up the natural acoustics of the room, though it does have a much wider range of applications as omni-directional microphones do not suffer from 'proximity effect'.
Features
	Exceptionally flat frequency response, switchable for near and diffuse field applications
	High-frequency response can be accentuated by means of a pressure build-up ring
	Slightly increasing directivity at high frequencies to adjust tonal balance
	Exceptionally low inherent self-noise
	Transformerless and fully floating balanced output
	Switchable pre-attenuation
	Black, anodised light metal body
Delivery Includes
	1 MKH 20, 1 MZS 40 shock mount,
	1 MZW 41 windshield, 1 pressure build-up ring
