Sennheiser Professional MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone with XLR-3 to 3.5mm Connector for Video Camera/Camcorder, 505453 - Black

Product Information

Le bruit de fond est moins présent que sur le ntg4+ (même si il est plutôt faible et très correct sur ces deux micros). For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. The MKE 600 offers high directivity with exceptional attenuation of noise and sound from the sides and rear. The clear, rich sound combined with easy-to-use operation makes it perfect for adding great sound to your project in an instant. High intelligibility means that even if you record from a distance, the result is a recording that sounds as if the microphone was placed much closer to the sound source. If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered Sometimes it happens that there may not be enough dynamic range at a particular volume, but this can always be controlled and corrected.

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided. Power Supply: 48V (+/-4V) (P48, IEC 61938) via 3-pin XLR OR battery/rechargeable battery (AA size, 1.5V/1.2V) To be honest, I'm willing to work on this mic, the only reason I'd change it to a 416 is because of the low noise and better directivity.

MKE 600: Your Ticket to Pro Production Sound

Plus, with an integrated switchable low-cut filter, the MKE 600 allows you to minimize wind noise and low-frequency rumble when recording. It can be powered via P48 phantom power or using batteries. A battery power switch with a low battery indicator caters to cameras and equipment that do not offer phantom power operation. This powerful microphone is the ideal companion for film-makers, journalists, and vloggers. What's included?

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. I don't use the battery option for phantom power. Instead I rely on the phantom power provided by my interface. I recommend an interface with a solid preamp. Obviously lesser quality preamps are going to impact your potential for quality sound from the mic. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty Shotgun microphones have become the go-to choice for a huge amount of uses in the film and TV industry. Their unique design allows you to achieve exceptional directional audio capture in a diverse range of environments. The interference tube in front of the capsule allows your mic to reject sound from the sides and rear with phenomenal results, without affecting the sound from the front. Due to this unique design feature, shotgun mics can be mounted out of your shot, either on a boom or directly on your camera, and provide you with outstanding sound quality without having to hide microphones in costumes or behind props and objects. Incredible high quality sound - wherever you are

What Makes Our Sales Engineers Great?

I use this microphone for both video and audio work, mostly as a boom mic or on-camera in run-and-gun situations where I still want cleaner audio than what I get with the built-in microphone on the camera. I've even used it to mic a guitar amp cabinet while the drums were playing with about 0,5m of space in between but I placed the mic at a 90 angle from the drums with the low-cut on and the recording was almost completely clean.
