Overview:

Super Directional, Super Low Noise For Your Toughest Applications!
The Sennheiser MKH 416 is a shotgun interference tube microphone. Its excellent directivity and compact design, low self noise, high consonant articulation and feedback rejection make the MKH 416 a superb all-round microphone for film, radio and television, especially for outside broadcast applications.
Sennheiser MKH 416 Features:
Increased directivity due to interference tube principle
Very low inherent self-noise
High sensitivity
Transformerless and fully floating balanced output
Rugged, suitable for adverse climatic conditions
Matte black all-metal body
The 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. The MKH 416PH is a phantom powered microphone allowing for easy use with most video camcorders and mixers.
Includes MZ 415 windscreen
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”
