Improve the sound of your Sennheiser by retrofitting and separated power supply.

When you are not satisfied with the sound of your Sennheiser microphone, it is possible to retrofit
your microphone with better electronics and active 60V power to improve the sound.
Retrofitting is possible for the MKH 20, MKH 30, MKH 40 and MKH 50.
After retrofitting your microphone has a much better impulse responses, warmer sound, less distortion,
and more transparent..
At the former microphones page you can read the theory about retrofitting:
