MKH 416 P 48 U 3, MZW 415 specifications

The Sennheiser MZW 415 and MKH 416 P 48 U 3 are two high-quality audio tools that cater to the needs of professionals in the broadcasting and film industries. Both products exemplify Sennheiser's commitment to delivering excellent sound quality while incorporating cutting-edge technology.

The MKH 416 P 48 U 3 is a shotgun microphone that features a supercardioid pickup pattern, which effectively captures sound from the front while minimizing background noise from the sides and rear. This design makes it an excellent choice for outdoor recording and sound design, where unwanted ambient noise can detract from audio quality. With a frequency response range from 40 Hz to 20 kHz, the MKH 416 ensures that both low and high frequencies are reproduced with clarity and precision. The microphone is powered by 48V phantom power, making it compatible with most professional audio equipment.

One of the standout characteristics of the MKH 416 is its robust construction, designed to withstand the rigors of field recording. It is lightweight, yet durable, making it easy to handle and transport. The microphone's low self-noise level ensures that recordings remain clear and detailed, even in quiet environments. Additionally, the MKH 416 is well-regarded for its ability to maintain a consistent performance across varying temperatures and humidity levels, thanks to its RF (radio frequency) technology.

Complementing the MKH 416, the MZW 415 is a windscreen designed specifically for this microphone. The MZW 415 effectively reduces wind noise and plosive sounds, which can ruin outdoor recordings. Its foam construction is lightweight and easy to install, making it an essential accessory for anyone using the MKH 416 in windy conditions or close-miking scenarios. By providing a protective layer, the MZW 415 allows the MKH 416 to perform optimally regardless of environmental challenges.

Together, the Sennheiser MZW 415 and MKH 416 P 48 U 3 create a powerful combination for audio professionals seeking high fidelity and reliability. Whether on location or in the studio, these tools help ensure that critical audio elements are captured with maximum clarity and minimal interference, solidifying Sennheiser's status as a leader in the audio industry. From filmmakers to sound engineers, the MKH 416 paired with the MZW 415 serves as a cornerstone for professional audio production.
