My new MKH8040 (serial no.: 1142022778) has a problem with movements. Even with small movements or position changes, it produces occasional clunking noises. Not too loud but clearly audible in the headphones only. I have sent it to Sennheiser Germany 2 times as a warranty claim and both times it was returned without repair saying "unit within specification". - I suspect they did not open it and they did not contact me before returning it. As owner of several other MKH series microphones (MKH8050, MKH8060, MKH50) I know that the microphones are sensitive to wind and handling noise, but mechanically they are very solid. Does anyone know the problem or has anyone experience escalating the concerns to Senneiser Customer Service? Is there any way to repair the microphone or do I now have to sell the microphone on the second hand market to a victim and hope that it is only used statically? How do you handle it when expensive gear just is not beaving "bulletproof" ? Chris

Hey! Any recommendation for a MKH 8040 + MKH 30 Mid / side rig?? (preferably cheaper alternative then the rycote Stereo Cyclone MS Kit 16) Any suggestions is appreciated. thanks -
Hi all, I've been a lurker here for quite a while and have even bought gear from a member, but this is my first post. Here goes! I have an MKH8040 and a MKH30 that I want to use in an M/S configuration. I'd like to get a Rycote stereo windshield kit for it but I'm a bit lost as to which. I'm familiar with their modular windshield kits for single mono mics, but have never worked with their stereo kits. The Rycote website is not too helpful, as my configuration is not listed in their guide (http://www.rycote.com/images/uploads/compatibility_charts/Stereo_Microphone_List-October_2010.pdf). I'll probably stop by Trew Audio in the next couple of days, but in the meantime I was wondering if anybody has experience with this particular combo -- is there a way to make it work with a Rycote stereo kit? Thanks, Alex
