Sennheiser MKH 416 Shotgun Microphone

Capture pristine audio in even the most demanding environments with the Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U3 moisture-resistant shotgun microphone, available at Lightbulb Rentals. This microphone is designed to deliver mix-ready sound quality with sharp directivity, low noise, and robust output, making it perfect for professional film, TV, and location recording where reliability is paramount.

The MKH 416-P48U3 features a hypercardioid polar pattern in the low to midrange frequencies, transitioning to a lobar pattern in high frequencies. This allows it to effectively attenuate off-axis sound from 125 Hz to 2 kHz by approximately 10 dB at 90deg, ensuring clear and focused audio capture. Its wide frequency response, enhanced consonant articulation, and high SPL handling enable recording of dialogue, foley, and sound effects with full dynamics and clarity, making it an essential tool for high-pressure gigs.

Lightbulb rents the Sennheiser MKH 416 Shotgun Microphone along with thousands of other items with next-day pickup or regional delivery across New York and Pennsylvania.
