Sennheiser MKH 416-P48u3 Shotgun Microphone (Moisture-Resistant) Highlights

  • Directional Pickup Pattern: The MKH 416 features a highly directional "super-cardioid" pickup pattern. This effectively rejects sound from the sides and rear, focusing on the sound source directly in front of the microphone.
  • Moisture Resistance: Designed with moisture resistance in mind, this microphone is built to withstand humid conditions and light rain. This makes it a reliable choice for outdoor shoots and challenging environments.
  • Low Self-Noise: The MKH 416 is known for its very low self-noise. This ensures clean audio recordings with minimal background hiss, even when amplifying quiet sound sources.
  • Phantom Power Requirement: This microphone requires P48 phantom power (48V) to operate. Ensure your audio interface, mixer, or recorder can supply this power for optimal performance.
  • Durable Construction: Built with a robust metal housing, the Sennheiser MKH 416 is designed for professional use. Its durable construction can withstand the rigors of daily field work.
