Built for Field Work and Location Shoots

The MKH 416’s rugged metal housing with a matte black finish eliminates reflections, making it ideal for film sets. It mounts easily to boom poles, tripods, or pistol grips using the included mic clip or shockmount options.

For windy locations, the included foam windscreen offers solid protection. For maximum performance in outdoor conditions, the kit features an Auray furry windshield, engineered for superior 360-degree wind protection with minimal loss of high frequencies.
