MKH 416-P48U3 Shotgun Microphone

The Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U3 Short Shotgun Microphone delivers precise audio capture for film, television, radio, and broadcast applications. Its compact design and short interference tube provide excellent directivity, making it ideal for outdoor recording and challenging production environments. The RF condenser design offers outstanding resistance to humidity, ensuring reliable performance in demanding weather conditions.

Precise Directional Audio Capture

The MKH 416 uses a short interference tube to increase directivity, allowing it to focus on the desired sound source while reducing unwanted ambient noise. Its supercardioid/lobe pickup pattern helps capture clear dialogue and location sound with excellent accuracy.

Reliable Performance in Any Environment

The RF condenser design makes the microphone highly resistant to humidity and suitable for outdoor productions. Its rugged all-metal construction withstands demanding filming, broadcasting, and reporting conditions while maintaining dependable performance.

Professional Broadcast Audio Quality

The microphone delivers very low self-noise, high sensitivity, and excellent consonant articulation for natural, intelligible speech. The transformerless, fully floating balanced output provides clean signal transmission, while strong feedback rejection supports professional recording applications. A matte black finish reduces reflections on set, and the supplied MZW415 windscreen helps reduce wind noise during outdoor recording.
