Too bad there's no fig-8, no MS then? Or did I miss that capsule?

there is no rule that the figure 8 capsule in a MS configuration has to be the same make/model.
it would be nice if sennheiser would release a 8 capsule down the road, and who knows...maybe they will....until then, use a different brands figure 8 mic.

In the brochure they state that more mic patterns and caps will be available soon...

Hoping for Fig 8 and Sub-Card...

Very interesting that the body is empty with just an xlr connection.. I was looking at the freq response curve and it is a little hard to read (and does not start at 0db?).

A local taper has some multi-pattern side address Sennheisers. He had some noise problems with them and had to send them to Senn TWICE. I think they had them for quite a while both times. Obviously those are very different mics but it gives me pause.

Very nice man.  Very interested in hearing these.  So they appear to be about the same overall length of a 140?

I ordered from the same... 

??  Are these a matched set and if so did it come with the paperwork??  curiosity gets me every time..

From what I understand the 3m and 10m cables are available - custom lengths are slower coming and no definite date on them.

3m is fairly standard length, no?

I'm almost positive that my neumann lc3's are that length

I agree - 3m is pretty std but I think most of us run 16-20 Ft Xlr's just to be safe so 5m is very desirable..

My u89 set came with 10m and they were monsters...

I will sit tight until they can turn around custom lengths...

Parker from Sonic Sense told me today that Sennheiser USA has one pair of cards left in stock.

Also, I heard from a different source that the 8030 would be a wide-cardioid!
