Q: 5. How can I clean it when the sponge particles are sticking to the mic?

A: First of all the last thing you should be using to clean any condenser mic is any liquid and a sponge. You have a 416 a great mic don't ruin it. One of the recommended ways of of cleaning the ports and capsule mesh. Is to get a dry very soft tooth brush. Turn the mic upside down and gently start at the bottom and use the tooth brush to gently rub over the ports and work your way to the top.I find a natural soft Boar bristle tooth brush to be softer than your run of the mill plastic models.There is also a product called Microphome which seems to be garnering approval with the industry.

A: The Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Microphone will pickup audio from sources that are in front of the mic from up to approximately 3 to 4 feet away. As far as how well the mic will pick up soft sounds from a distance, it would really depend on the environment where the mic is used and the actual volume of the sounds and background sounds. The mic will do a good job of rejecting sound from the back and sides, as long as they are not considerably louder than the sounds that are directly in front of the mic.
