The MKH 416 directional studio
microphone
Brief description
The MKH 416 is a directional studio microphone which is also espe-
cially suited to outdoor applications. Its high degree of directivity
makes the MKH 416 a superb microphone for film and television,
including outside broadcast applications. The microphone operates on
the proven RF principle and is designed for 48 V phantom powering.
The MKH 416 is a combination of a pressure gradient transducer and
an interference tube microphone. It has a super-cardioid pick-up pat-
tern at low and medium frequencies, whereas at higher frequencies
there is a transition to a lobar characteristic. Due to its operating prin-
ciple, the MKH 416 is relatively insensitive to wind and pop noise and
can therefore often be used as a soloist and broadcast microphone,
without the need for an additional wind- or popshield. However, for
outdoor recordings the use of an additional windshield is recom-
mended.
The frequency response intentionally has a slightly rising characteris-
tic 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.
Principle of the RF circuit
In contrast to the high impedance of the capsules in conventional “DC
biased” condenser microphones, the capsule of an RF condenser
microphone has a low impedance. The high polarization voltages nor-
mally required in condenser microphones are not necessary in the RF
condenser microphone. RF condenser microphones use a compara-
tively low RF bias voltage of less than 10 V, generated by a built-in
low-noise oscillator (8 MHz). The RF principle ensures increased oper-
ational reliability, particularly for outdoor recordings under extreme
climatic conditions.
