If I wanted to use this on a BlackMagic 6K with it’s dual mini xlr ports how would I power the microphone? If the microphone was set to xy wide or xy narrow, would I enable 48v phantom power on both ports? Or would that overload the microphone?
Asked by: Brandon
Yes, you would enable phantom power on both mic inputs because the Sennheiser MKH 8018 Stereo Shotgun Microphone has 2 mic elements that require phantom power.

what shock mount and softie should i use with this?
Asked by: Jimmy
For a basic shockmount to use with the Sennheiser MKH 8018 Stereo Shotgun Microphone, you can use the Auray DUSM-1 Universal Shockmount for Camera Shoes and Boompoles (B&H # AUDUSM1). A female 3/8" thread on the bottom of the shockmount enables attachment to a boompole or stand. For a compatible softie, you can use the Rycote Standard Hole Classic Softie Wind-Screen (5.9" Long, 0.7 to 0.8" Diameter Hole, Gray), B&H # RYS15M.
