Sennheiser MKH 418 M/S stereo shotgun microphone captures recent space shuttle launch

摘要

Florida-based multimedia company Road Kill Creative (RKC) captures high-fidelity sound for use in radio, TV, video games, and sound effects libraries. When asked to deliver a hi-fi recording of a space shuttle launch, they were shocked to learn that, although NASA now captures each launch in full HD video, the audio system at the Kennedy Space Center traces back to the (monaural) Apollo days. After six months of negotiations with NASA, RKC engineer Chris Pendl recorded the launch of space shuttles Atlantis and Discovery using a Sennheiser MKH 418 M/S stereo shotgun microphone.
