I take a look at how you can compare the traits of Fenuine Sennheiser MKH416 Shotgun Mic, in order to avoid buying a FAKE. I cover the following to help you avoid losing your hard earned money:
1. Buy from a Sennheiser Authorized Dealer. If the price is unbelievable, don't believe it.
2. Check the physical characteristics of a Genuine Sennheiser MKH 416, and see if your purchase matches up. I mention several and show close-ups.
3. Listen to the sound, noise floor, noise rejection, and make sure you are happy with the results.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, All right, an update to your video. I think your MKH 416 is real because I can hear a sibilance. And a lot of people who buy this microphone, sometimes they have this s that is more pronouced. Like, I have an NTG3. And when compared to an MKH416, there's more clarity. There's more S's going on. You can hear a little bit of more clarity on the MKH416. And automatically, when you plugged in your MKH416, I noticed that the S sound was a little better than on the audio technica that you were using. So I would say it sounds real, for sure.

yes the 875r is a great mic, and you almost get the sound of the 416 with a very much cheaper price. We recommended to anybody. of course nothing beats the 416 but this is a great alternative.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Can't wait to get mine, I currtly own a Rode NTG3, a C414 LTD, and Shure SM7b. I want a U87, and the MKH 416 for sure. Great video by the way! Very informative.

I have both boxes, the serial number is 56000 higher on the all black box. The lower serial number has a few scratches from handling. Both have incredible sound. My only comparisons are a Sennhieser MKH 70, a Sony ECM-678, A Rode NTK studio mic and an Audio Technica AT3035. All sound good, but both MKH 416’s just sound so much better and the pickup pattern is incredible with excellent rejection.

Thank you for making this video! I bought a fake one and couldn’t figure out why it didn’t sound very good and had a ton of self noise. I thought it was my DAW or interface settings. Telltale signs were brass pins and no set screw to remove the housing. Oh…and the sound.

Where did you buy it from?

@Zarabozo 5 жыл бұрын

When you do your tests, please test them at a considerable distance (like the distance you would have to film a scene without the microphone invading the frame). I think that can be a considerable difference between the Audio Technica and the Sennheiser, the ability to be really directional and discard room reflections and other noises.

You might as well buy it new since used you only save not even 10%. When/if you sell it, it's only a $100 rental fee. Easily worth $100 for the peace of mind new from a dealer.
