MKH 418S Shotgun Microphone
The MKH 418S is a compact MS stereo shotgun microphone utilizing Sennheiser's
exclusive RF condenser microphone technology. The MKH418S incorporates a mid
capsule based on that of the legendary MKH416 which is combined with a newly
designed figure-of-eight side capsule. Its high constant articulation, excellent feedback
rejection and functional versatility make the MKH418S a superb all-round cost-effec -
tive choice for film, television, and multi-media applications.
