Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone
The Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone is a great choice for filmmakers, video creators, and anyone who needs cleaner audio from a camera. Its focused pickup helps capture voices and other sounds from the front while reducing noise from the sides and rear. The rugged metal body is lightweight enough for handheld rigs, tripods, and cameras, making it an easy upgrade from a built in camera mic.
Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone Review
The Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone uses a supercardioid and lobar pickup pattern with an interference tube for strong directionality. Its high sensitivity helps avoid excessive gain, while the low noise circuitry keeps recordings clean. A selectable 100 Hz low cut filter helps reduce rumble from traffic, air conditioners, and other low frequency sources. The microphone can run from 48V phantom power or one AA battery, with up to 150 hours of battery operation.
