We hope this post will help you with purchasing a Sennheiser MKH 416, and maybe help get your payment back if you’ve already made the purchase. Many people don’t mind getting their microphones secondhand, and I certainly don’t blame them with the current prices and exchange rates these days. At one point he heard interference from putting the microphone close to a kitchen stoves LCD screen! Conclusion The cliche you get what you pay for still holds true. In fact, by a colleague’s account, the fake Sennheiser MKH 416 picked up all sorts of radio signals while he was booming. One of those issues is the lack of RF robustness.
That being said, the common person would probably fail to notice the difference until issues came up. In Operation We personally haven’t done a direct audio comparison, but some people have said the audio quality between the fake and the genuine MKH 416s is only discernible when listened to with trained ears. Inside the Shell The fake Sennheiser MKH 416 is on the left, and the genuine Sennheiser MKH 416 is on the right.
A gold set screw is used on the fake 416, and a genuine 416 uses a black or unpolished brass screw. Another difference with the exterior is the set screw. Remember, the number between the box label and the microphone should always match.
Some users have said that other serial numbers being put on counterfeits are leading with 11150 plus a random digit. In the packaging section, the serial number was listed as 00111505 on the box and the serial number at the end of this microphone is 111505. I took this to understand ALL HD6XX shipped in this drop would have a serial number GREATER than 5000. The serial number will be printed on the product itself and will not be anywhere on. A common finding with the fake 416 is the serial number located at the XLR end of the microphone.Īll of our products are labeled with a serial number.
The Microphone The Exterior As we mentioned at the beginning of this post, the exterior of a fake 416 has the ability to fool almost anyone.
