Key Features
-Pressure-Gradient Microphone
-For Film, Radio, Television
-Highly Immune to Humidity
-High Consonant Articulation
Designed for recording audio in film, radio, and television the MKH 416 from Sennheiser is a short shotgun interference microphone optimized for outdoor applications. It offers excellent directional control in a compact design with high consonant articulation and rejection of feedback. The unit is highly immune to humidity because of its RF condenser design. It operates as a hypercardioid at low and medium frequencies with a lobar pattern above 2 kHz.
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 low noise levels and high immunity 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 2 kHz 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
