The MK 8 capsule from Schoeps is often used for MS and double MS stereophony in film sound and music recording, in combination with Colette or CCM microphones and/or a CMIT shotgun.

This type of capsule is a pure dipole. The figure-of-eight characteristic of the MK 8 remains ideal from lowest to highest frequencies, which is especially important when used in MS pairs. Sensitivity drops off more towards low frequencies than with other capsules, but the proximity effect is pronounced.

The MK 8 is particularly difficult to manufacture as a pure pressure gradient receiver because the usable pressure gradient is minimal. Nevertheless, the MK 8 achieves excellent frequency response with very good polar plots, high symmetry and low noise floor.

The microphone is comparatively sensitive to vibrations, so care should be taken to provide good protection against structure-borne noise and wind, e.g. with suitable elastic suspensions.

The pickup direction is lateral, i.e. perpendicular to the microphone housing, and is marked at 0° and at 180° by a red and a black dot on the capsule housing, respectively. For recordings in MS technique, the 0° axis points to the left when viewed from a position behind the microphone, and the “8” engraved on the microphone face is exactly horizontal.
