The MKH 416 T is the earlier 12-volt T-powered version of Sennheiser’s legendary short shotgun — a microphone that shaped the sound of film, broadcast, and ENG work for decades. Its interference-tube design, rugged RF-bias capsule, and exceptionally low noise make it one of the most reliable location microphones ever built.OPTICAL CONDITIONAlmost Mint condition with no wear on the body tube or slotted interference section. Finish is clean and uniform. TECHNICAL CONDITIONFully tested, stable, and performing exactly at factory spec. Output is clean with the classic MKH 416 sound signature. THIS ITEM INCLUDESOriginal wooden presentation caseBUILD & DESIGNThe MKH 416 T uses a lightweight interference-tube body with the iconic longitudinal slots that give it its tight supercardioid/lobar pickup.Capsule RF-condensed (high-frequency biased) condenser design Supercardioid / Lobar polar pattern . The RF principle gives these early MKH models superior humidity resistance and extremely low self-noise.Circuit The MKH 416 T operates on 12 V T-Power, also known as Tonaderspeisung.A legacy powering method used in film and broadcast before phantom power became standardApplies +12 V directly across pins 2 and 3Unlike phantom power, it does not reference groundNever compatible with 48 V phantom — using the wrong power can damage the microphoneStill usable today via dedicated T-Power to P48 adaptersSennheiser offered both T-powered and phantom versions of the 416 for compatibility with different recorders (e.g., Nagra systems).TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSType: RF-biased condenserPolar Pattern: Supercardioid / LobarFrequency Response: 40 Hz – 20,000 Hz (factory spec)Sensitivity: Similar to modern MKH 416 P48 modelsImpedance: Approx. 200 ΩOutput: Balanced (12 V T-Power)FREQUENCY RESPONSEFrequency Response40 Hz – 20,000 HzNoticeable presence boost at 5–8 kHzGentle high-end roll-off approaching 20 kHzControlled low end with gradual attenuation below 60–80 HzSOUND CHARACTERISTICSThe Sennheiser MKH 416 T delivers the classic “416 sound” that has defined film and broadcast recording for decades. Its interference-tube super-cardioid/lobar design gives an extremely narrow, focused pickup on-axis with superb side and rear rejection—dialogue recorded directly in front of the mic stays clear and present, even in noisy or reverberant environments. The midrange is tight and forward, with a deliberate presence boost around ~5–8 kHz that enhances intelligibility and presence for speech, voices, and narration. Low end is controlled and firm, providing weight but avoiding excessive boom or rumble when positioned correctly. High-frequency detail remains crisp and airy up through the upper range, with a smooth, natural roll-off rather than an overly bright, harsh edge.Usage examples:Boom pole for film dialogue in outdoor or practical indoor settings — captures the subject cleanly while rejecting background utility noise.Shotgun for voice-over or narration where clarity and presence are essential.Spot-microphone for distant sources (e.g. orchestral solo, distant acoustic instruments) where precision directionality is key.Love this item?
