Topic: Sennheiser Active Setup - MKH 8000 Part II

[John Willett]

I'm curious how much that Grace bar weighs, John.  I can't tell from the photos if it's made of aluminum or plastic or what?

The bar itself is aluminium and is pretty light - the centre and mounts are heavier, though.

I think Grace are working on longer arms, but will be of a different design so they won't bend - my understanding is that it's selling better than they thought.

anybody think there will be a word on a figure-eight capsule for this series?

been considering picking up an mkh-30 or some such mic for m/s, but would rather hold out and get a pair of the 8000 series 8.

if anyone has a contact at senn, i would be happy to pursue.

thanks,
luke
