Still great for boom work and for voice overs as well. The only situation when some other models perform better is in extremely reverberant rooms and when the rear end of 416 is very close to reflective ceiling.
After reading every other review on this mic for use in a voice over studio, I bought one ofr myself. This mic is fantastic! Opening the box with some ceremony and replacing my Neumann with the 416, I was amazed at its clarity and smooth sound!
Before you buy any microphone for this kind of money you need to do your research. There's a reason this shotgun mic is so expensive, it's highly directional and has a great pick-up range. The mic sounds much more warm and full than other, less expensive alternatives.
Leaves up to its expectations. Captures human voice with a deep velvety elegance. Miles ahead of any law mics we used (though we havent used any high-end laws.)
I bit the bullet and purchased this mic as a result of rave reviews to use for several days of filming events that I cannot mic the participants. My hope was that I could be far enough away in case I could not set up close, to capture decent audio.
Great xlr mic with low noise floorI understandwhy this mic is so popular
This thing is unreal. I do a lot of video, but I'm not a audiofile so to speak. But this mic gets great quality sound when used correctly. Must have for a fiction set!
Absolutely unbeatable. This mic is the industry standard for a reason.
Classic microphone. Works great on a boom, as a VO mic, or even on-camera if it comes to that. Solid build quality and sound.
Highly directional but sounds so sweet.
