Unicorn Films offers a curated range of Sennheiser shotgun microphones for film, broadcast, and corporate productions. The legendary MKH 416 short shotgun is the go‑to boom mic for countless features, known for its tight directivity, RF condenser architecture that resists humidity, and smooth, natural voice presence. It excels at isolating dialogue in outdoor and mixed environments, delivering a mix‑ready signal with minimal post‑processing.
For lightweight camera rigs and travel shoots, the MKE 600 delivers focused pickup with a supercardioid/lobar pattern. It can run on 48V phantom or a single AA battery for up to 150 hours, making it ideal when phantom power is unavailable. Its low‑cut filter helps tame rumble, and its form factor suits compact booms or direct camera mounting.
When shooting indoors where room reflections can challenge interference‑tube designs, the MKH 50 supercardioid mic offers excellent side rejection with a more natural off‑axis sound. With extremely low self‑noise and high SPL handling, it is trusted for interior dialogue and precise spot miking of instruments or foley work.
Rent from Unicorn Films to equip your shoot with the right Sennheiser shotgun whether for outdoor scenes, on‑camera capture, or controlled indoor dialogue recording.
