General Description The MKE 600 is a camcorder microphone that can master even the toughest video sound challenges. Its high level of directivity ensures that it picks up sound from the camera direction while reliably attenuating unwanted sound coming from the sides and rear. Wind noise is reduced by the included foam windshield, while a switchable low-cut filter additionally minimises wind and handling noise. An optional blimp (foam windshield/hairy cover combination) reduces wind noise even more effectively, making the MKE 600 the perfect choice for outdoor recordings. The MKE 600 can be phantom powered or operated on an AA battery for about 150 hours. Please note: B & H is the exclusive authorized reseller for the MKE 600 in the United States until 12/31/2012. Purchases made from other resellers during this time may forefeit warranty. After 1/1/2013 you may purchase from any authorized Sennheiser dealer to ensure authentic product.
