Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone for Cameras

The Sennheiser MKE 600 is the ideal video camera/camcorder microphone able to handle even demanding challenges. Due to its high directivity, the MKE 600 picks up sounds coming from the direction in which the camera is pointing and effectively attenuates noise coming from the sides and rear.

Because some video cameras/camcorders do not provide phantom power, the MKE 600 can also be battery powered. A battery on/off switch prevents the battery from discharging prematurely; “Low Batt” is displayed.

Shotgun microphone ideal for video camera applications. Very good suppression of structure-borne noise.
