DIRECTIONALSTUDIO MICROPHONE

MKH 416 P 48 U, MKH 416 P 48

General description

The MKH 416 P 48 U and the parallel model MKH 416 P 48 are directional studio microphones with a high directivity factor. This is highly desirable in the film and TV studio and also outdoors for multiple applications.

The microphones employ the proven RF-principle for low noise, low interference operation. All Sennheiser P 48 models are designed for phantom powering with 48 V according to DIN 45596.

The MKH 416 P 48 represents a combination of apressure gradient transducer and an interference microphone. The directional characteristic is supercardioid at low and medium frequencies, at higher frequencies the directional pattern is club-shaped. The microphone's susceptibility to wind and pop noises is low due to the working principle employed. Therefore the MKH 416 P 48 can olten be employed as a microphone for soloists or for commentary purposes without using an additional

popshield. However, for outdoors the use of a windscr'eenis recommended.

The frequency response is intended to have a slight increase of the high frequencies. The so-called close-talking ellect is low with this micro- phone. Therefore, the MKH 416 gives a weil balanced sound even when it is used close up.

The microphone does not contain any transformer and is therefore unaffected by magnetic stray fields.

Principle of high frequency circuit

The capsule of a RF condenser microphone represents contrary to DC circuits, a low impedance. Instead of the high polarisation voltage normally required, a high frequency capsule needs only a high frequency voltage of about 10 volts, which is produced by a built-in low-noise oscillator

(8 MHz). This principle ensures the microphone's high operational

reliability, particularly for outdoor recordings in extreme climatic conditions.

Powering and connection

All Sennheiser microphones designated MKH . . . P 48 and P 48-U are 48 V phantom-powered according to DIN 45596.

Either condenser- or dynamic microphones from Sennheiser electronic employ the principle of voltage matching. This "no load condition" has the advantage that neither impedance variations of the microphone output nor of the amplifier input h;:l'Jea noticable influence on the total performance of the system (e. g. frequency response). The source impedance of Sennheiser condenser microphones with phantom powering is extremely low (ilbout 10 Q at 1000 Hz) so that the amplifier input impedance has only to be at least 200 Q.

This in usual in the majority of cases. Should - however - the input impedance be smaller than 200 Q, a resistor of appropriate value should be placed in series with the microphone so that it "sees" at least 200 Q. The voltage division caused by this series resistor must, of course, be considered. The same method can be used when a higher output impedance of the microphone is demanded. In this case again, aseries resistor can be used to provide correct matching.

MKH 416 specifications

The Sennheiser MKH 416 is a highly regarded shotgun microphone known for its exceptional sound quality and ruggedness, making it a popular choice among audio professionals in the film, television, and broadcasting industries. This microphone is designed to capture audio with precision, even in challenging environments, and its compact size enhances portability, perfect for on-location recording.

One of the main features of the MKH 416 is its supercardioid pickup pattern. This directional characteristic allows the microphone to focus on sound sources directly in front of it while minimizing ambient noise from the sides and rear. This makes it particularly effective for capturing dialogue in noisy environments or when recording in close proximity to the subject.

The MKH 416 utilizes a unique RF (radio frequency) technology, which offers an extended frequency response and low self-noise. This technology ensures that the microphone can deliver clear and detailed audio recordings. The frequency response ranges from 40 Hz to 20 kHz, allowing it to capture both low and high-end frequencies accurately. This wide frequency range is essential for achieving a natural and immersive sound.

Another standout characteristic of the MKH 416 is its ability to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion. This makes it suitable for use in various applications, from capturing soft spoken dialogue to loud sound effects, all while maintaining audio integrity. The microphone also has a high sensitivity rating, ensuring that even quieter sounds are picked up with clarity.

Durability is a key aspect of the MKH 416’s design. Constructed with high-quality materials, it is built to withstand the rigors of field recording, ensuring reliable performance in various weather conditions. Its low weight, combined with a rugged build, makes it an ideal choice for boom operators and handheld applications.

The Sennheiser MKH 416 also features a shock mount and windscreen options, further enhancing its versatility. Overall, the MKH 416 is a go-to microphone for professionals seeking a balance of quality, durability, and performance, making it an essential tool in the world of audio production. With its advanced technologies, robust features, and exceptional sound quality, the MKH 416 has earned its status as a staple in the audio recording community.
