DIRECTIONAL STUDIO

MICROPHONE MKH 416 T

Short Description

The directional studio microphone MKH 416 T is a transistorized RF condenser microphone. The DC voltage necessary for operation is

fed through the conductors of the connecting cable (A-B powering

according to the German standard DIN 45595).

The MKH 416 T represents a combination of apressure gradient transducer and an interference microphone. The directional characteristic is super-cardioid at low and medium frequencies, at higher frequencies the directional pattern is club-shaped. The microphones susceptibility to wind and pop noises is low due to the relative high acoustical membrane pressure. The MKH 416 T can be employed

as a microphone for soloists or for commentary purposes without

using an additional popshield. However, for location work the use of a windshield is recommended.

The frequency response is maintained to have a slight increase of the high frequencies. The so-called close-talking effect is low with this microphone. Therefore, the MKH 416 T gives a weil balanced sound sensation even when it is used close up.
