Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U3 Shotgun Microphone

The Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U3 is a compact, professional-grade shotgun microphone engineered for film, television, radio, and location recording. Built on a pressure-gradient design with a short interference tube, this RF condenser microphone features exceptional directivity and is highly resistant to humidity and moisture. With a frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, low self-noise of 13 dBA, and high sensitivity of -32 dB, the MKH 416-P48U3 delivers studio-quality audio capture in demanding conditions. The hypercardioid pattern at low and mid frequencies transitions to a lobar pattern at high frequencies, providing excellent off-axis rejection and feedback elimination. Supplied with MZW 415 windscreen and MZQ 100 quick-release clip, this industry-standard microphone requires 48 V phantom power and connects via 3-pin XLR.
