Had a listen to your recordings, excellent!

It's not often you get the chance to compare such 'high-end' 
microphones like this.

May I ask, the MKH 8000 series does this comprise a 'body' and a 
seperate 'mic' capsule?

Will Senneheiser include a figure-of-eight in this range, do you know 
by any chance?

Regards

Phil
