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 character-
istic 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.
