Sennheiser MKH 416 Shotgun Microphone Rental
The Industry Standard for Professional Film, Broadcast & Voice Recording
The Sennheiser MKH 416 is one of the most respected and widely used shotgun microphones in the world. For decades, it has been the preferred choice of production sound mixers, broadcasters, film crews, and voice-over professionals who demand exceptional clarity, reliability, and performance.
Featuring a highly directional supercardioid/lobar pickup pattern, the MKH 416 focuses on sound directly in front of the microphone while effectively rejecting unwanted ambient noise from the sides and rear. This makes it ideal for capturing dialogue in noisy environments and challenging production conditions.
Built using Sennheiser’s RF condenser technology, the MKH 416 offers outstanding resistance to humidity, temperature changes, and adverse weather conditions. Whether mounted on a boom pole, positioned above talent, used in a studio voice-over setup, or deployed in the field, it consistently delivers clean and intelligible audio.
From Hollywood feature films and television productions to documentaries, commercials, and broadcast journalism, the MKH 416 remains a benchmark for professional dialogue recording.
