Brief description

The MKH 418-S is an MS stereo microphone. Its high degree of directivity makes the MKH 418-S the ideal choice for stereophonic recordings for reporting, film and television applications. The microphone is designed for 48 V phantom powering and operates using the RF principle. This principle ensures high operational reliability, even under extreme climatic conditions.

The MKH 418-S has two independent acoustic systems for generating the mid and side signals. The mid signal (M) is generated by a shotgun microphone system. At high frequencies, this results in a lobar pick-up pattern, whereas at low frequencies there is a transition to a super-cardioid characteristic. The side signal (S) is produced by a figure-of-eight capsule, whose positive side is directed to the left. The M and S signals are available independently at the microphone output. The microphone is positioned correctly when the word „TOP” is pointing upwards.
