Sennheiser MKH 416 Kit with Zoom H4n Pro Recorder

SKU CH-4DWZ-CS5J5

A professional shotgun microphone kit with a portable recorder, windshield and XLR cable for broadcast-quality field recording

  • Broadcast-ready sound with MKH 416 condenser microphone
  • 130 dB SPL handling captures loud sources cleanly
  • Supercardioid lobar pattern rejects off-axis noise
  • Rugged RF design resists changing climate conditions
  • Complete kit includes Zoom H4n Pro recorder and XLR cable

Broadcast Shotgun Kit

The Sennheiser MKH 416 kit pairs a transformerless RF condenser shotgun microphone with a Zoom H4n Pro recorder, a right-angle XLR cable and the MZW 415 windshield. It is built for location sound crews, documentary makers and boom operators who need a complete, field-ready package for film, radio and television work.

Upgrade From Onboard Audio

This kit replaces camera-mounted microphones and entry-level recorders that cannot match the MKH 416's supercardioid interference-tube directivity or the H4n Pro's multi-track flexibility. The jump is worth it when dialogue must cut through wind, traffic or crowd noise and when post-production demands clean, phase-coherent tracks.

Interface And Environment Limits

The microphone requires 48 V phantom power and delivers a maximum SPL of 130 dB before clipping, so extremely loud sources at close range can overload the capsule. The supercardioid pattern rejects off-axis sound but retains a rear lobe that must be managed by boom technique. The included windshield handles moderate wind; severe conditions demand additional protection.

Questions about this item

What mounting hardware does the MKH 416 kit include for boom or camera use?

The kit supplies the MZW 415 windshield; the microphone body itself is designed for standard boom, fishpole and camera mounts using common clip or shock-mount accessories.

How do I connect the MKH 416 to the Zoom H4n Pro, and what step is often missed?

Plug the supplied right-angle XLR cable into the mic and the recorder's XLR inputs, then enable 48 V phantom power on the H4n Pro — forgetting phantom power is the common mistake.

What part of the kit will need replacement after extended outdoor use?

The MZW 415 windshield foam can degrade from UV and moisture exposure, so plan to replace it periodically to maintain wind-noise protection.
