Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U Super Cardioid Shotgun Microphone Overview

The Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U is a shotgun microphone designed for film, television, radio, and other broadcasting. An industry standard for recording speech, dialogue, foley, and ambient sounds, the MKH 416's linear condenser capsule is extremely neutral and accurate. An extremely directional polar pattern helps to pick up sources from above at a good distance away from the microphone, ensuring you capture every word and noise you want while rejecting the ones you want to avoid, reducing the risk of reshoots.

Lightweight and subtle, it's incredibly easy and comfortable to suspend the MKH 416-P48U out of shot while maintaining the correct distance to capture what you need to be heard. Designed to resist humidity and with an included windshield, this microphone is as comfortable on a controlled set as it is with location recording.

Robust design for outdoor brilliance

The Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U is engineered for resilience and performance in outdoor settings. Its RF condenser design is notably immune to humidity, ensuring reliable operation in diverse filming and broadcasting environments. This microphone's robustness is matched by its compact form factor, making it an indispensable tool for professionals who demand uncompromising audio quality in the field.

Unmatched clarity and precision

At the heart of the MKH 416's design is its exceptional sound directionality and clarity. The microphone's pressure-gradient receiver with a short interference tube ensures accurate sound capture with minimal noise interference. This, combined with its supercardioid/lobe pattern, provides filmmakers and broadcasters with the precision needed for capturing clear and articulate audio, even in noisy outdoor environments.

Designed for professional demands

The MKH 416's low self-noise and high consonant articulation stand out as features that meet the rigorous demands of professional audio capture. These characteristics ensure that every nuance of the spoken word is captured with clarity, making it an ideal choice for critical applications such as film production, live broadcasting, and outdoor interviews.

Sleek and functional aesthetics

Beyond its technical prowess, the MKH 416-P48U sports a sleek matte black finish that not only looks professional but also minimizes reflections during video shoots. The included windscreen further enhances the microphone's functionality by reducing wind noise, ensuring that the MKH 416 remains a top choice for professionals seeking both form and function in their audio equipment.
