    High degree of directivity

    The MKH 416 is a directional studio microphone which is also especially suited to outdoor applications. Its high degree of directivity makes the MKH 416 a superb microphone for film and television, including outside broadcast applications.

    Low proximity effect for balanced sound

    The frequency response intentionally has a slightly rising characteristic at high frequencies. The microphone has a low proximity effect and therefore provides a well balanced sound even when used close to the sound source.

    Increased operational reliability

    Due to its operating principle, the MKH 416 is relatively insensitive to wind and pop noise and can therefore often be used as a soloist and broadcast microphone.
