SENNHEISER MKH 416 SHORT SHOTGUN INTERFERENCE TUBE MIC

mkh 416

The MKH 416 transformerless, RF condenser is designed as a combination of pressure gradient and interference tube microphones. Very good feedback rejection, low proximity effect, 130 dB/SPL. Rugged and resistant to changing climate conditions. Ideal for boom, fishpole, and camera mounting.

Its excellent directivity and compact design, high consonant articulation and feedback rejection make the MKH 416 a superb all-around microphone for film, radio and television, especially for outside broadcast applications.

Interference Tube Principle

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 exceptionally low noise levels and is virtually immune 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 2kHz 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

Optimum S/N ratio

Lower gain on input channels required

Lowest noise and greatest signal stability

Highly immune to humidity in all conditions. Extremely stable.
