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

Product Information

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. Frequency pattern of MKE 600 is nothing short of epic and I love that curve above any other shotgun. It is reasonably flat and while peaking in the upper range with a slight 2-3 dB boost it gives just about enough presence not to sound “dull”. However, unlike with harsher AT897 this transition is very smooth, natural and unobtrusive. The lower end initially rolls off at 100 Hz, while the “low cut” switch sets it at 200 Hz. With this move, Sennheiser outsmarts both AT897 and NTG-2 whose “low cut” switches are set at 100 Hz and can’t roll off any further. The thing is, anything below 100 Hz is hardly usable anyway as it’s mostly mud and noise, but, it doesn’t stop there and sometimes you may want to cut it further. Sennheiser MKE 600 gives you that opportunity. 200 Hz is the range that often contributes to some annoying boominess, also amplifying wind and machinery noise – so this can be a great fix especially for run and gun /ENG situations. Interchangeable 3.5mm (1/8"") TRS and TRRS connectivity for use with DSLR and mirrorless cameras or mobile devices 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.

Le bruit de fond est moins présent que sur le ntg4+ (même si il est plutôt faible et très correct sur ces deux micros). La batterie rechargeable du ntg4+ peut sembler un atout pour les tournage, mais je suis encore méfiant sur ce qui est des batteries rechargeables (sur les micros), sachant que a forcer de les charger-décharger cela peux vraiment diminuer la durée de vie de celle-ci. Comme je n'enregistrer que sur un enregistreur externe avec une alimentation Phantom, pas besoin de batterie intégré. 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? I've never had it shut down on me unexpectedly because the low battery warning comes in well before it actually runs out. Talking about battery life, it is amazing. One battery lasts for days and since it's only one cell you can just have a reserve ready in the carrying pouch at all times.

Sometimes it happens that there may not be enough dynamic range at a particular volume, but this can always be controlled and corrected. We've got you covered if you’re looking for the best shotgun microphones. As microphone specialists, we know a lot about what it takes to record audio for film, YouTube, or travel vlogging. 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. Compatibility – In today’s world, your video recording is most likely not confined to one device, and your microphone doesn’t have to be either. Each MKE 200 includes 3.5mm (1/8in) TRS and TRRS cables to be used with DSLR and mirrorless cameras or mobile devices.

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.We’ll start by running through our selections and then dive into the details of each one. If money isn't an issue and you only want the best, skip down to number 5, the Neumann KMR 81i, because it's by far the best-grade shotgun microphone on this list. If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered 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. 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.
