In M-S mode, MKH 8018 provides independent mid and side signals. This allows the width of the stereo image to be adjusted in post-production or in the field with a matrix mixer. Or choose from two internally matrixed modes that provide traditional “left-right” stereo without the need for external mixers. To accommodate varying acoustic environments, the user may select between a “wide” pattern (LR-W) with increased ambient pickup, and a “narrow” pattern (LR-N) which offers more rejection and less ambiance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ImageNextToTextItem_image-next-to-text-item__4a7EB\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ImageNextToTextItem_image-next-to-text-content___7Jdm\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ImageNextToTextItem_image-next-to-text-item-text-wrapper__kvkUU\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ImageNextToTextItem_image-next-to-text-content___7Jdm\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SENNHEISER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46808679055598,"sku":"MKH 8018","price":3913.55,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0432\/8590\/5574\/files\/SennheiserFullWidth_20a9dd89-d856-479e-834f-762d14000afa.webp?v=1753895108","url":"https:\/\/seconcept.com\/en-us\/products\/sennheiser-mkh-8018","provider":"SE CONCEPT ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
