Sennheiser MKH 416

Just a terrific microphone. It's both high-end and a workhorse. It's in a league with the best large diaphragm mics but it's a hyper-cardioid shotgun. Excellent rejection. Durable as any mic I've ever used. As strong outdoors in difficult weather as in a pristine recording studio. Frequency response pattern is crisp and tight and helps voiceovers cut through. Ultra low-noise. Pair it with a Scarlett solo or 2i2 and you're off to the races.
