Sennheiser MKH 416 Shotgun Microphone

The Sennheiser MKH 416 is the most widely used professional shotgun microphone in broadcast television, film, and commercial voiceover production worldwide — the microphone that captures the voice of virtually every major network news presenter, documentary narrator, and television commercial in the English-speaking world. The RF-condenser capsule technology provides the MKH 416 with remarkable rejection of humidity and temperature variation that collapses lesser condenser capsules in outdoor broadcast conditions, and the 15dBA self-noise delivers the clean, detailed audio that broadcast engineering standards demand.
