Sennheiser | MKH416-P48U3 | Premium Shotgun Interference Tube Microphone | For Film, Radio & Studio

The Sennheiser MKH416 Short Shotgun Interference Tube Microphone is designed as a combination of pressure gradient and interference tube microphones. Very good feedback rejection, low proximity effect, 130 dB/SPL. Rugged and resistant to changing climate conditions. Ideal for boom, fish pole, and camera mounting.

Sennheiser's MKH 416 transformerless, RF condenser is designed as a combination of pressure gradient and interference tube microphones. Very good feedback rejection, low proximity effect, 130 dB/SPL. Rugged and resistant to changing climate conditions. Ideal for boom, fishpole, and camera mounting. Its excellent directivity and compact design, high consonant articulation and feedback rejection make the MKH 416 a superb all-around microphone for film, radio and television, especially for outside broadcast applications.

• Interference Tube Principle
• Pressure gradient receiver with short interference tube
• Employs RF-technology to control residual microphone noise. Optimizing the transducer's acoustic impedance results in a further improvement in low noise performance.
• The RF-design yields exceptionally low noise levels and is virtually immune to humidity and moisture.
• The comparatively low RF-voltage across the elements of the transducer also eliminates arcing and DC-bias creeping currents.
• Hypercardioid at low and medium frequency, above 2kHz approaches lobar pattern
• Very low inherent self-noise
• High sensitivity
• Transformerless and fully floating balanced output
• Rugged, suitable for adverse climatic conditions
• Matt black all-metal body Increased directivity
• Optimum S/N ratio
• Lower gain on input channels required
• Lowest noise and greatest signal stability
• Highly immune to humidity in all conditions.
•  Extremely stable.
• Visually "low key"
