Take a look at the PDF linked here:

The high frequency boost on the MKH20 affects only the top octave or so of the
mike's response. So it's a long way removed from the frequency range of other
mikes' low frequency rolloff. You can also boost the high frequency directivity
of the MKH20 by slipping on a rubber O-ring and lining it up flush with the
front grille.
I've used these mikes for wildlife recording (including in a quad array for
surround sound) and they are lovely. Very low self-noise, very nice tonal
character, very natural low frequency response (unlike anything cardioid, with
or without roll-off), and great immunity to humidity issues that plague other
mikes. We also use them as main orchestra mikes for the Opera.
