Description
- 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 low noise levels and high immunity 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 2 kHz 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

What is the difference between hypercardioid and lobar patterns in this microphone?
The hypercardioid pattern captures sound primarily from the front while rejecting noise from the sides, making it ideal for low and medium frequencies. Above 2 kHz, it transitions to a lobar pattern, which focuses even more narrowly on sound directly in front.
Is the Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U3 suitable for use in humid environments?
Yes, the microphone's RF condenser design provides high immunity to humidity and moisture, making it well-suited for outdoor applications.
What types of recordings is this microphone best suited for?
The MKH 416-P48U3 is ideal for film, television, and outdoor recordings due to its excellent directional control and high sensitivity.
How does the RF technology in this microphone improve performance?
RF technology reduces residual microphone noise and enhances low noise performance, resulting in clearer audio capture.
Can this microphone be used in adverse weather conditions?
Yes, the rugged design of the MKH 416-P48U3 makes it suitable for use in challenging climatic conditions.
What is meant by 'transformerless and fully floating balanced output'?
This means the microphone provides a direct output without transformers, ensuring a cleaner signal and reducing the risk of interference, while the balanced output helps to minimise noise during transmission.
What is the inherent self-noise level of this microphone?
The Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U3 features very low inherent self-noise, allowing for high-quality recordings without unwanted background noise.
The Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U3 Microphone is a short shotgun interference microphone optimized for outdoor applications. It offers excellent directional control in a compact design with high consonant articulation and rejection of feedback. The unit is highly immune to humidity because of its RF condenser design. It operates as a hypercardioid at low and medium frequencies with a lobar pattern above 2 kHz.
