EXCELLENT build quality, all metal and tightly assembled in Germany. It has great versatility. You can use it for voiceover, talking head videos, film making, ASMR, and more. It has a tendency to pickup and amplify the environmental sound but does a pretty good job of rejecting sound from the sides and rear. Adding a good noise gate will make this microphone sound pristine. It’s not super smooth or rich, but has a clear/crisp quality sound that (to my ears) is delightful. In summary, the solid build, clear sound, wonderful versatility, and high grade German components, makes this my favorite “do everything” mic. Rent one and try it on your voice before making the investment, but I’m certain it’ll sound exquisite for most.

From the manufacturer
Short shotgun interference tube mic for film, radio, and television, especially for outside applications. Excellent directivity and compact design.
MKH 416 Tube Short Shotgun Interference Tube Microphone
- Increased directivity due to interference tube principle
- Very low inherent self-noise
- High sensitivity
- Transformerless and fully floating balanced output
- Rugged, suitable for adverse climatic conditions
- Matte black all-metal body
High degree of directivity
The MKH 416 is a directional studio microphone which is also especially suited to outdoor applications. Its high degree of directivity makes the MKH 416 a superb microphone for film and television, including outside broadcast applications.
Low proximity effect for balanced sound
The frequency response intentionally has a slightly rising characteristic 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.
Increased operational reliability
Due to its operating principle, the MKH 416 is relatively insensitive to wind and pop noise and can therefore often be used as a soloist and broadcast microphone.

Feedback
Crispy, but light on air (easily remedied in post)
This is the first nice mic I owned where I didn't need to do sweeten in post. It's still fun to throw on some sparkly saturation and leveling, but I almost always decide to bypass the saturation. Because of its treatment of high end there's pleeeeenty of intelligibility, whether shouting or speaking softly. Maybe it's a different kind of "air" that you get with a U87 or tube LDC, but the treble is never spitty, and now we're splitting hairs. Occasionally I use a de-esser. The point is, you actually don't *need* to. We use these for VO every day. The common mantra in VO studios is that one shouldn't use a 416 for long form content like audiobooks, because "it can be fatiguing to listen to such a hyped-up voice for hours. But it's perfect for commercials, ADR, podcasts, interviews." I have found this to be rubbish. The only argument against using this mic for VO is if your room isn't well treated. That can cause problems indoors in a very reflective room. But why would you be recording there anyway!? :)
