With comparable directivity to the renowned MKH 416, the new Sennheiser MKH 8060 brings you true and natural sound in a lightweight, rugged package. It has been designed to be reliable under challenging environmental conditions, and its symmetrical RF transducer design produces high sensitivity and low distortion. The short interface tube has been designed to create a pleasing supercardioid/lobar pickup pattern. Off-axis sound is suppressed without coloration for natural, detailed results. Transient response is excellent, and overall this compact mic is an excellent choice for boom or camera mounting. The MKH 8060 is Sennheiser's first short shotgun to interface directly into digital systems via the MZD 8000 digital module; the modular design allows the addition of a filter (MZF 8000) or digital output module (MZD 8000).

Combining performance and competitive prices, the new ADAM entry line of studio monitors, the F series, consists of two near field monitors and a dedicated subwoofer. The F5 and F7 feature a new version of ADAM's Accelerating Ribbon Technology, which results in tweeters that reproduce high frequencies with airiness, clarity and detail. The woofers are designed to seamlessly integrate with the tweeters' performance, and when deeper and more powerful bass response is required, the SubF subwoofer, which has been specifically designed to match the F monitors, comes into play.
