Sennheiser MKH 416 P48
The MKH 416 is a short gun interference tube microphone. Excellent directivity and a compact design, high consonant articulation and feedback rejection are ideal qualities for universal use in film, radio and television, especially for outdoor broadcast applications.
A mic with excellent directivity.
As a shotgun microphone, the MKH 416 P48 features a highly directional pickup pattern that effectively suppresses sound from the sides, ensuring a clear and focused capture of the source it is aimed at. The mic has a supercardioid response with a shift towards a tighter lobar response above 2kHz. The MKH 416 P48 covers a frequency range of 40Hz to 20kHz and features a balanced, floating XLR output for clean signal transmission – achieved without a transformer to maintain a direct audio path. As a condenser microphone, it requires 48V phantom power supplied via XLR, which is typically delivered by portable mixers or field recorders on film sets.
High-quality all-rounder condenser microphone.
The MKH 416 P48 is ideal for film sound professionals looking for exceptional speech intelligibility and a dependable, rugged microphone for outdoor use. Measuring 25cm in length, this condenser shotgun mic is among the larger models in its category. Its durable brass housing and RF condenser design ensure reliable protection against humidity and moisture. With a maximum sound pressure level of 130dB, it captures nearby sound sources without distortion. Thanks to its robust design and technical precision, the MKH 416 P48 is a highly versatile microphone suited not only for dialogue, but also for Foley work and instrument miking, including hi-hats in drumkits.
