The MKE 600 shotgun microphone

The MKE 600 is the ideal video camera/camcorder microphone able to hand-

le even demanding filmic challenges. Due to its high directivity, the MKE 600 

picks up sounds coming from the direction in which the camera is pointing and 

effectively attenuates noise coming from the sides and rear. The switchable 

“Low Cut” filter additionally minimizes wind noise.
Because some video cameras/camcorders do not provide phantom power, the 

MKE 600 can also be battery powered. A battery on/off switch prevents the 

battery from discharging prematurely; “Low Batt” is displayed.

Features

•  Pronounced directivity
•  Maximal rejection of side noise
•  Switchable “Low Cut” filter minimizes wind noise

•  Battery switch with “Low Batt” indicator
•  Rugged all-metal housing

•  Supplied with foam windshield, shockmount and adapter cable for cameras 

with 3.5 mm jack connection
