Because capturing pristine audio is crucial in professional film, television, and video production, the Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone with Rycote 14cm Classic Softie is an indispensable tool for industry professionals. This high-quality, durable microphone is specifically designed for use with camcorders and video DSLRs, leveraging Sennheiser's extensive expertise in shotgun microphone design. Despite its compact size, the MKE 600 is engineered to tackle the most challenging video sound environments. Its superior directivity focuses on the sounds in front of the camera, effectively attenuating unwanted noise from the sides and rear.
This makes it an ideal choice for capturing clear, accurate audio in a wide range of settings, from on-location shoots to live events. The MKE 600 comes with a foam windshield that significantly reduces the impact of wind noise, and a switchable low-cut filter for additional wind and handling noise attenuation. This ensures that your recordings are always clear and free from distracting background noise. For added versatility, the MKE 600 can be phantom powered or operated on an AA battery for approximately 150 hours, making it a reliable choice for long shooting sessions.
The microphone features an integrated camera shoe and shock mount for convenient on-camera mounting, and its rugged, all-metal housing ensures optimal performance in outdoor recording situations. The inclusion of the Rycote 14cm Classic Softie shockmount further enhances the microphone's performance by isolating it from external vibrations and handling noise. Plus, the XLR-3m connector ensures easy connection to a camera or audio recorder. In summary, the Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone with Rycote 14cm Classic Softie is a professional, versatile, and reliable choice for capturing high-quality audio in any filming or recording scenario.
