Sennheiser Microphone MKH 8000 Series User Manual

MZD 8000  
Mikrophone | MKH 8000 Series  
Cat. No. 502097  
General Description  
Technical Data  
The fantastic sound of the MKH 8000 series can now be converted to  
digital directly at the microphone head, ensuring a natural sound without  
any loss of quality. The compact digital module is simply screwed onto  
the microphone head in place of the XLR module, turning the audio signal  
of the MKH 8020 (omni-directional), MKH 8040 (cardioid) and MKH 8050  
(super-cardioid) into a digital one. The new digital module ensures that  
the warm, natural, yet fantastically clear and powerful sound of the MKH  
8000 series is maintained in full quality along the entire signal chain. In  
contrast to conventional digitization, which uses a separate analogue/  
digital converter at some stage in the chain, the Sennheiser MZD 8000  
digital module eliminates cable losses and, most importantly, features a  
converter and surrounding circuitry that have been optimally matched to  
the microphone.  
Frequency response ................................. from 10 kHz to 80 kHz  
A/D conversion ......................................... 24 Bit/44,1 to 192 kHz  
Delta-Sigma Sensitivity (free field,  
no load, 94 dB SPL) with MKH 8020 ................................-31 dBFS  
Total harmonic distortion at -1 dBFS ........................< -100 dBFS  
Inherent self-noise (mono mode, 40 ohms) ...........< -120 dBFS  
Input amplitude for -0.5 dBFS  
at 0 dB attenuation .......................... 1.1 Vrms (997 Hz sine wave)  
Group delay ......................................................... 22/19/15 samples  
..................................................................single/double/quad speed  
Frequency accuracy  
in asynchronous operation .......................................... +/- 25 ppm  
Pull-in range in  
Like all signal-carrying components in the 8000 series, the module is desi-  
gned with two channels and converts the microphone signal according to  
the AES 42 standard. The microphones can be synchronized by any digital  
system. In addition to the A/D converter (24-bit, sampling rate up to 192  
kHz), the digital module contains a highly integrated DSP unit. With the  
aid of dedicated PC control software and an AES 42 interface, the micro-  
phone allows settings such as the low-cut filter, attenuation and limiter  
to be remote-controlled. The required phantom power for microphones is  
provided by an AES 42 interface, e.g. Neumann’s DMI.  
synchronous operation...................................... min. +/- 100 ppm  
Power supply ....................... AES 42-phantom power (10 V DPP)  
Power consumption ..........................................................< 160 mA  
Operating voltage range ..................................from 7 V to 10,5 V  
Operating temperature range ...................from -10 °C to +60 °C  
Diameter ................................................................................... 19 mm  
Length .......................................................................................96 mm  
Weight ............................................................................approx. 65 g
