The Product

The Sennheiser MKH418-S is a mid-side stereo condenser shotgun microphone. Its M-S format, compact dimensions, very good consonant clarity and good spatial representation make it ideally suited for every type of application in film, radio, television and reporting, both indoors and outdoors. Main features include increased mid directivity due to interference system, very low noise, high sensitivity, a symmetrically ungrounded output without repeater, convincing spatial representation and a sturdy and very weather-resistant full metal casing finished in matt black. The output MS signal format is presented on a male XLR connector in the base of the microphone.
