Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone

Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone

The Sennheiser MKE 600 is a camcorder microphone that can master even the toughest video sound challenges. Its high level of directivity ensures that it picks up sound from the camera direction while reliably attenuating unwanted sound coming from the sides and rear.

Wind noise is reduced by the included foam windshield, while a switchable low-cut filter additionally minimises wind and handling noise. An optional blimp (foam windshield/hairy cover combination) reduces wind noise even more effectively, making the MKE 600 the perfect choice for outdoor recordings.

The MKE 600 can be phantom powered or operated on an AA battery for about 150 hours.
