Achieve superb audio capture in demanding conditions for your next professional film, TV, or location recording with the Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U3 moisture-resistant shotgun microphone. Mix-ready sound quality is provided by its sharp directivity, low noise, and strong output. Plus, there are no controls to worry about; the MKH 416-P48U3 delivers the reliability you need for high-pressure gigs.

The microphone exhibits a hypercardioid polar pattern at low to midrange frequencies and transitions to a lobar pattern in high frequencies, allowing it to attenuate 125 Hz to 2 kHz by approximately 10 dB at the 90° off-axis points. Your dialogue, foley, and sound effects can be recorded with full dynamics and clarity, thanks to the MKH 416-P48U3's wide frequency response, enhanced consonant articulation, and high SPL handling.

About Shotgun Microphones at Sound Productions

Aim for the exact sound you want with Sound Productions’ shotgun microphones. The ideal tool for distance miking applications, shotgun mics typically possess a directional polar pattern, meaning you can position it to capture the desired audio source with minimal pickup of ambient or background noise from the surrounding area. This mic type features a long, narrow build that makes it easy to pinpoint those sounds with precision and accuracy.

Shotgun mics are the perfect choice for videographers, live broadcasters, journalists—in short, any situation where you need to be able to reposition your mic in real-time while keeping it out of view. Choose from models that mount directly on a camera—so you can get both image and audio simultaneously. Or find a shotgun mic that mounts to a boom for hand-powered precision positioning during filming, live streaming, TV broadcasting, and more.
