    Standard mic for outdoor recording
    Surin Song

    Amazing supercadioid mic for outdoor recording, and it can be also greatly used for vox in the studio. I even have recorded taiko drums with 2 mkh416s and could capture delicate as well as tasty sound.

    Beautiful mic
    James Conover

    I am really happy I got this mic. I wanted a really professional shotgun that was going to last forever so I chose the 416. It sounds beautiful. Really. When I got it I spent hours just walking around listening. It is clear and really gets a great sound. RECOMMEND!!

What We Think

avatar

The Sennheiser MKH416 microphone is a venerable choice for both location sound recording for film and video, but has become one of the legendary 'must-have' microphones for voice-over and radio-spot talent. Something about the response of this microphone makes it a perfect match for the requirements of radio-spot production. It's no a 'natural' sounding mic, though. And you shouldn't judge it by how it sounds in your headphones if you're the talent. Because, when you listen to the recording on the studio monitors, you realize that this mic, out of the box has provided all of the regular shaping that one might normally apply to the signal - a little more presence and air along with a rolled off bottom end to help it sit just right. Voice over work is so particular that no one microphone will solve all the needs for every voice or job. We have customers who tell us about how just by having their MKH 416 with them actually saved the day. No matter which application you have for the Sennheiser MKH416, Front End Audio carries a full and wide variety of accessories to perfectly match with it. Give us a shout!
