Sennheiser MKE 600 - Shotgun Condenser Microphone|Directional Audio Tool for Professional Film & Video Production and Content Creation
A Professional Shotgun Directional Microphone Designed for Cameras and Boom Poles
The Sennheiser MKE 600 is a professional shotgun microphone, featuring a Supercardioid/Lobar polar pattern design and a wide frequency response of 40Hz-20kHz, engineered to meet the demanding challenges of film and video production. Whether mounted on a camera's hot shoe or attached to a boom pole for mobile recording, the Sennheiser MKE 600 delivers broadcast-quality clear audio, making it a crucial piece of equipment for enhancing video sound quality.
Compared to the omnidirectional microphones built into most cameras, the MKE 600, with its precise off-axis sound rejection capability, can significantly filter out ambient noise from the sides, providing cleaner, more focused vocal dialogue. Its dual power mode, supporting both phantom power and AA batteries, further ensures excellent compatibility and mobility across various film and video recording equipment, achieving truly professional directional audio capture.

- Robust Metal Construction: The all-metal microphone housing is robust and durable, capable of withstanding various demanding shooting environments and effectively suppressing structure-borne noise caused by handling.
- Low Self-Noise Circuit Design: Optimized circuit design provides extremely low self-noise (15dB with phantom power / 16dB with battery power), ensuring clean, noise-free audio recording.
- Battery Level Indicator: Features a "Low Batt" indicator light, allowing users to monitor battery status in battery-powered mode and prevent recording interruptions due to power depletion at critical moments.
