MKE 600

Name: MKE 600
Brand: Sennheiser
Availability: OutOfStock

The MKE 600 is the ideal microphone for camcorders and video cameras, and can handle even the most demanding filming challenges. Thanks to its high directivity, the MKE 600 picks up sound from the direction the camera is facing and effectively attenuates noise from the sides and background.

The switchable Low Cut filter also minimizes wind noise.

Since some camcorders do not provide phantom power, the MKE 600 can also be battery powered. An on/off button for the battery prevents it from discharging prematurely - the "Low Batt" indicator appears when the battery is low.
