## Overview

The Sennheiser MKE 600 is a professional shotgun microphone designed for video cameras and camcorders, delivering highly directional audio with minimal side noise. It features a switchable low-cut filter to reduce wind noise, dual powering options via phantom power or battery, and a battery on/off switch with low battery indicator. Built with a durable metal enclosure and equipped with a shock mount and foam windshield, it’s engineered to meet the demands of high-quality film production.

## Description

he MKE 600 is the ideal video camera/camcorder microphone able to handle 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: The MKE 600 has maximal rejection of side noise, ensuring that you capture clear audio from the direction in which your camera is pointing
- SWITCHABLE "LOW CUT" FILTER: Minimize wind noise interference with the MKE 600's switchable filter, perfect for outdoor filming in breezy conditions
- PHANTOM OR BATTERY POWERING: Don't worry about compatibility - the MKE 600 can be powered by phantom power or batteries, making it versatile for any setup
- BATTERY ON/OFF SWITCH: Prevent premature battery discharge with the convenient on/off switch, and easily monitor battery life with the "Low Batt" display
- IDEAL FOR DEMANDING FILMIC CHALLENGES: The MKE 600 is designed to handle even the most demanding film projects, delivering high-quality audio for your video camera or camcorder

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the mic pickup noise from the motor or arm movement if attached to the dji om3 gimbal?**
A: The mic is sensitive to all noise in close proximity. Overall, it’s not an amazing mic but built more for vlogging. 
I hope this was helpful.

**Q: I'd like to purchase a hard case for this mic, any recommendations?**
A: I'd recommend an HPRC case: they're very well built watertight and crush resistant cases comparable to Pelican cases but significantly cheaper in price. The MKE 600 is about 10" in length so You'd need at least the HPRC 2300 which has an interior width of 12". http://www.amazon.com/HPRC-2300F-Hard-Cubed-Black/dp/B004B8VLS2/ref=pd_sim_sbs_421_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=05B35GHGSTH9H59KBPJ5Another option would be the Seahorse SE-520F: http://www.amazon.com/Seahorse-SE-520F-Protective-Case-With/dp/B001A1PTCC/ref=pd_sim_200_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1W4QR2HG9EGDJ1VVK9X5I own a few HPRC cases and I'm very pleased with them. Have not owned any Seahorse cases yet, but reviews seem to be overwhelmingly positive. Both are very similar in price. (note: both brands have different color options, but with HPRC the price can vary significantly between color choices on Amazon. For example: currently the Black HPRC 2300 on Amazon is $83.90, while the Yellow and Blue models are priced at $69.90, and the Red model is $64.95)

**Q: does this come with a bracket and hot-shoe mount to put on my cameras?**
A: The Senn MKE 600 does not come with a "bracket" however, it does include a shock mount that can slide into and tighten upon and within a cold shoe mount.  The shock mount is low profile. Some cam ops really like it, others say it's a little flimsy. It wouldn't be a bad idea to additionally get a mount from KTek

**Q: Will it fit into the C100's mic mount?**
A: No I use these rubber rings from lowes I bought on my c100 mic combo.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great
*by  on Reviewed in India 9 February 2025*

Best purchase. But you need an external recorder for the best output. I am using Tascam DR-40 and getting very detailed crisp sound. As compared to wireless mic there is an hustle to use this because this requires a full setup and wireless mic are just plug and play. But trust me the whole process is worth it the output you get from this mke600 is very detailed so if you are seeking quality just go for it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional shotgun mic in mid range budget
*by  on Reviewed in India 6 November 2024*

Great mic with superb clarity! The MKE 600 captures rich, natural sound and does a fantastic job cutting out background noise. It’s lightweight, durable, and works seamlessly with my phone using an adapter. Perfect for anyone wanting pro-quality audio without breaking the bank!
