General Description
The MKH 70 is a lightweight long gun microphone. Its excellent directivity is particularly suited to applications undertaken in difficult conditions, such as high background noise and distance microphone positioning. Its frequency-independent directivity prevents sound colouration from off-axis sound sources.
Features
	Exceptionally low inherent self-noise
	Transformerless and fully floating balanced output
	Infra-sonic cut-off filter
	Symmetrical transducer technology ensures extremely low distortion
	Switchable pre-attenuation, switchable roll-off filter and switchable treble emphasis
	Rugged and weather-proof
	Black, anodised light metal body
Delivery Includes
	1 MKH 70
