Professional Shotgun Microphone

The Sennheiser MKH-416 is a short interference tube condenser microphone designed for broadcast, film and field recording. Its transformerless RF circuit provides high feedback rejection and low proximity effect, making it reliable for boom, fishpole or camera mounting in changing climates.

Rugged Build and Wind Protection

An all-metal body resists moisture and temperature shifts during outdoor sessions. The package includes a MZW 415 foam windshield and an 18 cm Rycote Softie with integrated shock mount, reducing handling noise and wind rumble without extra rigging.

Upgrade from Entry Shotguns

The 40 Hz to 20 kHz response and 81 dB signal-to-noise ratio capture detail that budget models miss, while 130 dB SPL headroom prevents distortion on loud sources. Buyers who need multi-pattern flexibility or built-in digital output will not find those features here.

Questions about this item

What audio bandwidth does the MKH-416 capture, from the lowest to the highest frequency?

The MKH-416 captures a frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, covering the full audible range for professional dialogue and ambient recording.

Which mount is supplied to secure the 18 cm Rycote Softie to a boom pole or camera shoe?

The bundle includes the Rycote Softie windshield with its integrated mount, designed to clamp directly onto standard boom poles, fishpoles or camera hot shoes.

How is the RF condenser circuit powered, and what setup step is commonly overlooked?

The transformerless RF condenser requires external phantom power supplied over the balanced XLR cable; the step often missed is enabling phantom power on the recorder or mixer before recording.
