Brief description
The MKH 416 is a directional studio microphone which is also especially suited to outdoor applications. Its high degree of directivity makes the MKH 416 a superb microphone for film and television, including outside broadcast applications. The microphone operates on the proven RF principle and is designed for 48 V phantom powering.
The MKH 416 is a combination of a pressure gradient transducer and an interference tube microphone. It has a super-cardioid pick-up pattern at low and medium frequencies, whereas at higher frequencies there is a transition to a lobar characteristic. Due to its operating principle, the MKH 416 is relatively insensitive to wind and pop noise and can therefore often be used as a soloist and broadcast microphone, without the need for an additional wind- or popshield. However, for outdoor recordings the use of an additional windshield is recommended.
The frequency response intentionally has a slightly rising characteristic at high frequencies. The microphone has a low proximity effect and therefore provides a well balanced sound even when used close to the sound source.
