Omni-directional RF condenser microphone. Ideal as a main microphone for orchestras and solo instruments. Picks up the natural acoustics of the room.
The MKH 20 is usually used as a main microphone for orchestras and solo instruments, and picks up the natural acoustics of the room, though it does have a much wider range of applications as omni-directional microphones do not suffer from 'proximity effect'.

Exceptionally flat frequency response, switchable for near and diffuse field applications
High frequency response can be accentuated by means of a special pressure build-up ring
