Sennheiser MKH70-P48 Shotgun Condenser Microphone
The Sennheiser MKH70-P48 shotgun condenser microphone is a lightweight long gun microphone designed for focused pickup at distance. Its supercardioid/lobar directionality supports precise dialogue, ambience, and effects capture while helping reduce off-axis coloration in demanding film, broadcast, and location recording environments.
Built for professional long-distance microphone positioning, the MKH70-P48 suits exterior production, sports, documentary work, ENG, and high-background-noise applications. Buyers searching for a long shotgun microphone for film, a phantom powered location recording mic, or a professional broadcast shotgun microphone get selectable tone control and rugged field-ready construction.
Sennheiser’s RF condenser design uses symmetrical transducer technology for extremely low distortion, with a transformerless, fully floating balanced output for professional signal integrity. Switchable pre-attenuation, roll-off filtering, and treble emphasis help adapt the microphone to changing production conditions while maintaining clear, directional pickup.
