Sennheiser MKE 600 – Shotgun Mic for Video & Film Applications

The Sennheiser MKE 600 is made for filmmakers, field recordists, and content creators who need a directional mic that excels both on camera and on a boom. With selectable powering (phantom or AA battery), a switchable low-cut filter, and rugged build, it captures clean, focused audio even in challenging environments—Soundium helps you record what matters with clarity.

Galvenās iezīmes

• Supercardioid / Lobar polar pattern: Offers strong rejection of off-axis noise and focuses sound from the front for clearer voice capture.
• Switchable low-cut filter (≈100 Hz): Reduces wind rumble or low-frequency noise when needed, while the mic’s natural roll-off at 40 Hz helps tame excessive bass.
• Dual power options (48V phantom or AA battery): Allows flexible powering—use phantom power on professional gear, or run off battery for mobile setups.
• “Low Batt” indicator & on/off switch for battery mode: Prevents battery from discharging unnecessarily and alerts you when battery power is low.
• All-metal body with included shock mount and windshield: Durable, rugged housing plus accessories to help reduce handling noise and wind interference.
• High maximum SPL: Can handle loud sources (132 dB SPL with phantom power, 126 dB with battery) without distortion.

Using the MKE 600 gives you both flexibility and reliability. Whether you’re shooting dialogue outdoors, recording in noisy locations, or boomed above a set, this mic keeps your audio clean.
