The Sennheiser MKH 416-P48 Short Shotgun Interference Tube Microphone is designed as a combination of pressure gradient and interference tube microphone. It is great for capturing audio in outdoor environments. It can be used in applications such as broadcast TV, film, radio, video, and more.
Highly Immune to Humidity
The unit is highly immune to humidity because of its RF condenser design allowing you to reliably capture high-quality audio in normal and adverse environmental conditions.
Sound Quality
The MKH 416-P48 is engineered with the experienced professional in mind. You can achieve superb audio in demanding conditions for your professional film, TV, or location recording. Its 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response incorporates a gentle rise from 5 to 15 kHz to increase intelligibility, and a natural bass roll-off to mitigate rumble. Its low self-noise of 13 dBA and high sensitivity of -32 dB enable studio-worthy signal purity without requiring noise reduction and gain boosting in postproduction.
Other Notable features
-
Increased directivity due to interference tube principle
-
Pressure gradient receiver with short interference tube
-
Very low inherent self-noise
-
Transformerless and fully floating balanced output
-
Compatible with a variety of handheld audio recorders, field recorders, and mixer adapters, as well as built-in preamps on many camcorders and cinema cameras
-
Matt black all-metal body
