Let me know if you can support the vark bar in the donut. If so I gotta spend the $70 TO BY THE VARK BAR 

Thanks again

Keep an eye on ebay as well, new ones were going for $10 and under for the last couple months from daleproaudio, I haven't seen any for a few weeks though.

Just ordered one for $60....

hey
I don't think this is a great way to compare
but I found this vid
upon my searches for the MKH 8040's

so check it out if you want
its not really a vid though more of an audio sample
comparing the 184's to the 8040's

in choppy youtube form

THanks for that LOL but as you stated... You won't really hear it... ;-)

I don't have an account at youtube but if someone does they should ask for a high res sample of the audio ... there is a thread going on at gear sluts with samples right now. These are small piano recordings and the threard is pros' in the orchestral field ringing out the mics vs dpa's and schoeps....

These mics have a lot of gain and are far reaching so similar mic placement to the for mentioned mics coincident will yield different results. Interesting. http://www.gearslutz.com/board/remote-possibilities-acoustic-music-location-recording/141239-new-sennheiser-mkh8000-series-mics.html

Thanks for the links and info.
In the gearslutz thread there is a picture of the mic next to a K6 module?

I assume the new mic does not work with a K6 setup?
What would be the simplest/smallest way to power these mics for recording into a R-09 for 4+ hours?

I mean: the optional cable between the XLR-module and the mic, is it only two-wire?
If so: what voltage does the XLR-module provide?

Could we replace the XLR-module by something that runs off of somethign else than phantom?

No - it's the new MKH 8050 compared with the earlier MKH 50 and an AA size battery.

Yes - the AWS42 digital module will be coming shortly.

Or - you can use the remote cable to make it shorter - but you will still need the XLR module and phantom at the other end of the remote cable.

Ok, thanks.

How does the size of the k6 relate to an MKH50?

What type of voltage does the MKH8040 XLR module give to the mic capsule part?
Where can i find more about AWS42?

The xlr Module is just that... The mic is completely inside the body of the 8000 series portion of the combo... So the xlr portion it passes on the 48v. from the pre used or from the recorder supplying (same thing in most cases) it or from another inline product you use... As far as I have read the XLR portion is just an 'adapter.

Adam, I just talked with your wife. She said you are not allowed to go to concerts anymore. So you can leave the mics at my house

Ok, I'm confused. That's per mic? I was looking for the stereo set but I understand it does not come with active cables. Does anyone have the cables? How much? I understand these are tiny, but the title of this thread is active setup.
